openclaw-security-audit

What This Skill Does

The openclaw-security-audit skill acts as a comprehensive, privacy-focused diagnostic tool for your local OpenClaw installation. It performs 15+ automated security checks on your configuration file (~/.openclaw/openclaw.json) to identify potential vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and hardening opportunities. By processing your configuration data locally and passing sanitized, metadata-only findings to your configured LLM, it generates an actionable, expert-level security report. This process ensures that no raw secrets, API keys, or sensitive credentials are ever sent to external endpoints or logged during the audit. The output is a structured markdown report that includes a risk score, categorization by severity, and a prioritized remediation roadmap to secure your AI agent environment.

Installation

You can easily integrate this tool into your existing environment using the OpenClaw skill hub. Execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/muhammad-waleed381/openclaw-security-auditor

Once installed, the tool will register itself as a native skill, allowing you to invoke it directly through your standard OpenClaw interface without additional configuration.

Use Cases

• Pre-Deployment Hardening: Before exposing your OpenClaw instance to the internet, run the audit to ensure all gateway authentication tokens and rate limits are properly configured.
• Regular Maintenance: Schedule monthly audits to catch configuration drift or ensure that new channels are not left with overly permissive file system access scopes.
• Security Compliance: If your project requires a specific security baseline, use the generated risk score and remediation report as documentation for your compliance efforts.
• Troubleshooting: If you suspect that your agent has been misconfigured leading to unauthorized access, the audit can quickly flag missing allowFrom rules or unsafe bind settings.

Example Prompts

1. "Perform a full security audit of my OpenClaw configuration and show me the most critical risks first."
2. "I'm worried my OpenClaw instance is too permissive. Can you audit it and suggest a remediation roadmap?"
3. "Run a security health check on my configuration file and generate a report on any hardcoded secrets I might have missed."

Tips & Limitations

• Privacy First: This skill is strictly local-only. It reads your files directly and strips all secrets before any LLM interaction occurs.
• Configuration Paths: If you are using a custom installation directory, you can override the target_config_path input to point to your specific configuration file.
• LLM Dependency: The quality of the remediation report depends on your configured LLM's reasoning capabilities; ensure your agent is connected to a capable model like GPT-4 or Claude 3.5 for the best analysis results.
• Scope: While the audit is comprehensive, it checks configuration patterns. Always follow up by reviewing your system's underlying OS-level firewall and network security settings.
