openclaw-audit-watchdog

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed audit-reporting watchdog that creates a scheduled OpenClaw audit job and sends reports only to configured recipients.

Install this only on hosts where you want unattended recurring OpenClaw security reports. Before enabling it, verify the DM target, optional email recipient, SMTP/sendmail settings, schedule, and install directory; disable or remove the cron job if you only wanted a one-time audit.

Finding
The trigger list includes generic phrases such as "security audit", "run audit", and "security report" that are likely to match ordinary user requests, causing this skill to activate in situations broader than intended. Because this skill can set up persistence via cron and send reports externally, accidental invocation increases the chance of unintended privileged actions or data disclosure.
