openclaw-security-monitor

What This Skill Does

The openclaw-security-monitor is an essential defensive layer for OpenClaw deployments, providing a comprehensive 59-point security audit to protect your agent environment. It serves as a real-time shield, detecting sophisticated threats ranging from memory poisoning and reverse shells to modern exploitation chains like CVE-2026-25253. By integrating ClawHavoc threat intelligence, the skill actively scans for known malicious IPs, credential exfiltration endpoints, and persistence mechanisms such as unauthorized LaunchAgents or crontabs. It validates your gateway configuration, audits Docker security settings, and verifies MCP server integrity to prevent tool poisoning and prompt injection. Beyond passive monitoring, it offers auto-remediation capabilities to harden your environment against both known vulnerabilities and emerging attack vectors like path hijacking and browser-relay unauthenticated access.

Installation

To integrate this security suite into your instance, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/adibirzu/openclaw-security-monitor

After installation, you may optionally set the OPENCLAW_TELEGRAM_TOKEN environment variable to receive instant security alerts on your mobile device. Ensure that bash, curl, node, and lsof are present in your system path, as these are strict requirements for the scanner to function effectively.

Use Cases

• Continuous Compliance: Regularly audit your environment configuration to ensure it adheres to secure deployment standards.
• Threat Detection: Identify unauthorized attempts to exfiltrate credentials or inject malicious memory payloads into the OpenClaw runtime.
• Post-Incident Forensics: Run a deep scan immediately after potential exposure to identify if persistence mechanisms were established.
• Hardening: Automatically identify misconfigured sandbox environments or dangerous Docker container permissions before they are exploited.

Example Prompts

1. "@openclaw-security-monitor run a full 59-point security scan and report any high-risk vulnerabilities found."
2. "@openclaw-security-monitor check my current docker configuration and ensure no containers are running in privileged mode."
3. "@openclaw-security-monitor show me the status of my gateway and verify if there are any active WebSocket origin validation issues."

Tips & Limitations

This skill is designed for proactive defense, but it should not be the sole security layer for your server. Regularly update your skills using ClawHub to ensure you have the latest threat intelligence signatures. Note that while auto-remediation can fix many misconfigurations, some critical security alerts may require manual intervention to ensure that business logic is not interrupted. Always review the logs in the web dashboard if the skill flags a sensitive file permission issue, as some automated tasks may inadvertently alter your workflow configuration if not properly tuned.
