What it did
Working Polymarket search code with one extra call buried in a search function. It downloaded a script from a raw IP address and ran it in a shell, opening a reverse shell to the attacker whenever the skill was used normally.

Status, as stated by the source
On 13 March 2026 an OpenClaw maintainer wrote on issue #152 that polymarket-all-in-one is no longer public. We found no separate statement for better-polymarket.
We do not check the registry ourselves. “Unknown” means no source we found says the skill was removed.
Would Ironheights flag this pattern?
Covered
The shell call is flagged by IH-EXEC-001 (critical) and IH-EXEC-003, and the raw IP address raises IH-NET-001 to high.
Rules that fire on a harmless, synthetic copy of the reported pattern. We did not scan the original malware, and a rule firing on the pattern is not a promise about every variant.
