What This Skill Does

SecurityClaw acts as an essential security-first auditing and quarantine framework for your OpenClaw agent environment. Designed to protect against prompt injection, malicious exfiltration, and supply-chain vulnerabilities, this tool performs rigorous static analysis on all installed skills. By automating the identification of suspicious code patterns, SecurityClaw ensures your agent remains secure while interacting with third-party or unknown skill sources. It provides a robust workflow for scanning directories, isolating potentially harmful files into a protected quarantine zone, and generating a structured report that allows administrators to make informed decisions regarding skill safety.

Installation

To integrate SecurityClaw into your OpenClaw environment, ensure you have the necessary environment dependencies installed and execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/mallen-lbx/securityclaw

Use Cases

SecurityClaw is vital in several security-sensitive scenarios:

1. Routine Auditing: Periodically scanning installed skill directories to ensure no local files have been tampered with or modified by malicious updates.
2. Vetting Unknown Sources: Before activating a newly downloaded skill from an unverified repository, run a full scan to verify its integrity.
3. Post-Breach Forensics: If the agent exhibits unusual behavior, use the scanner to flag potential backdoors or unauthorized code execution paths.
4. Compliance Management: Maintaining a clean environment by enforcing mandatory scans before any new plugin is permitted to access sensitive system resources or configuration files.

Example Prompts

1. "SecurityClaw, please run a read-only scan of my current skills directory and generate a report on any high-severity findings."
2. "I just downloaded a new skill from a third-party repo. Use SecurityClaw to scan it and move anything suspicious to the quarantine folder immediately."
3. "SecurityClaw, display the summary of the last scan and suggest which skills should be deleted versus those that can be safely allowed."

Tips & Limitations

• Static vs. Dynamic: While SecurityClaw excels at static analysis, advanced dynamic checks should always be performed inside a restrictive sandbox to prevent accidental code execution.
• Automation: Integrate the scanner into your CI/CD pipeline or shell startup scripts to ensure every skill update is vetted before execution.
• Limitations: The scanner is a tool for risk reduction, not a guarantee of total security. Always review the generated report manually for high-severity flags before taking permanent action. Avoid running the tool as root to minimize privilege escalation risks.
