What This Skill Does

The OpenClaw Security Auditor (OSA) is a robust diagnostic utility specifically architected to harden OpenClaw deployments against potential threats. At its core, the skill executes a comprehensive 47-point security analysis, evaluating seven critical domains: Gateway configuration, session management, tool permission sets, channel policies, network exposure, logging integrity, and skill source restrictions. It assigns a precise security risk score (0-100) and produces actionable, bilingual reports in both English and Chinese. Beyond mere detection, the OSA provides precise remediation commands and best-practice configuration templates to ensure that your agent environment adheres to industry-standard security protocols.

Installation

To integrate the OpenClaw Security Auditor into your environment, use the command-line interface to pull the module from the central repository:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/albertlsy588/openclaw-security-auditor-skill

Ensure that you have appropriate system permissions to read your existing ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json configuration file, as the scanner requires direct access to your local deployment settings to function effectively.

Use Cases

This skill is indispensable for:

• Security Hardening: Preparing an OpenClaw instance for production usage by closing unnecessary ports and tightening authentication requirements.
• Periodic Audits: Regularly checking for configuration drift or potential vulnerabilities introduced by new tool installs.
• Vulnerability Assessment: Identifying unauthorized filesystem access or excessive agent permissions that could lead to data exfiltration.
• Compliance Validation: Confirming that deployment settings align with organizational security policies before deploying sensitive AI agents.

Example Prompts

1. "Run a full security audit on my current OpenClaw configuration and tell me if there are any critical risks."
2. "I'm worried about my agent's external exposure; can you use the security auditor to check my network and gateway settings?"
3. "Generate a hardening report for my deployment and suggest commands to fix all high-severity issues."

Tips & Limitations

• Performance: While the tool completes within 60 seconds, ensure your host environment has sufficient resources to run the full audit sweep.
• Modes: Always start with the 'balanced' mode. Only switch to 'aggressive' if you are in a highly sensitive, air-gapped, or restricted production environment.
• Limitations: The scanner validates configuration and permissions but cannot detect runtime logic flaws or prompt injection vectors. Maintain a layered security approach by combining this tool with network-level firewalls.
