threat-radar — Continuous Security Scanning & CVE Alerting
Version: 1.0.0
Category: Security
Type: Monitoring + Alerting
Published: February 24, 2026
What It Does
Continuous security posture monitoring that scans your running services, Docker images, and software dependencies for known CVEs. Alerts you via WhatsApp/Telegram/Discord when new vulnerabilities affect your stack.
No external services required — runs entirely within OpenClaw using public CVE feeds.
Features
Security Scanning
- Docker image vulnerability scanning — trivy-style CVE detection for your container images
- Dependency auditing — npm, pip, cargo lockfile analysis for known vulnerabilities
- Port discovery — identifies exposed services on your local network
- SSL/TLS grading — evaluates certificate validity and security config
- OpenClaw config security — checks your OpenClaw setup against best practices
- Exposed service detection — flags accidentally public services
CVE Monitoring
- Automatic CVE feeds — pulls from NVD (National Vulnerability Database) and GitHub Advisories
- Track your versions — matches CVEs to YOUR installed software versions
- Severity-based alerting — CRITICAL immediately, HIGH in daily digest, LOW weekly summary
- Recovery tracking — knows when you patch and closes alerts
Reporting
- Weekly security digest — Canvas dashboard or markdown report
- Trend tracking — is your security posture improving?
- Remediation suggestions — actionable fixes per finding
- CWE references — understand the vulnerability class

Installation
clawhub install threat-radar
Configuration
Threat-radar stores config in ~/.openclaw/workspace/monitoring/threat-radar/config.json:
{
"scan_paths": {
"docker_images": true,
"dependencies": ["npm", "pip"],
"ports": true,
"ssl_domains": ["example.com", "openclaw.local"],
"openclaw_check": true,
"exposed_scan": true
},
"alerts": {
"critical": "immediate",
"high": "daily_digest",
"medium": "weekly",
"low": "suppress"
},
"cve_feeds": ["nvd", "github"],
"max_age_days": 30,
"local_network_cidrs": ["10.0.0.0/8", "172.16.0.0/12", "192.168.0.0/16"],
"ignored_cves": [],
"watched_software": {}
}
Edit with: threat-radar config update
How It Works
- Initialization — Downloads latest CVE databases from NVD + GitHub Advisories (~500KB)
- Scanning — Runs 7 security checks in parallel:
- Docker image analysis (hashes vs CVE DB)
- Dependency file parsing (npm/pip/cargo) → version extraction
- Port scan (local network only, non-invasive)
- SSL cert validation
- Service exposure check (looks for :80, :443, :8080, etc. on public IPs)
- OpenClaw config audit
- CVE Matching — Compares detected versions against CVE database
- Alerting — Dispatches alerts based on severity + cooldown
- History — Stores scan results in SQLite (trend analysis)
Performance: Full scan ~30 seconds. CVE refresh ~10 seconds. Optimized for homelab scale.
Integration with Other Skills
- With infra-watchdog — threat-radar feeds security events into watchdog alerts
- With ops-journal — CVE findings auto-logged for incident correlation
- With daily-maintenance.sh — integrated as Phase 8 (security scanning)
Security Notes
- Offline mode — scans work without internet after initial CVE download
- No credential exposure — never scans credentials (security-hardener handles that)
- Local network only — port scanning stays within your private networks
- Privacy — no data sent external except NVD API calls (CVE checking)
Troubleshooting
Q: "CVE database outdated" warning
A: Run threat-radar data-refresh to pull latest feeds
Q: Scan is slow
A: Disable slow checks: threat-radar config update --skip-ports
Q: Too many alerts
A: Adjust severity: threat-radar config update --alert-level=high
Q: False positive CVE
A: Mark as accepted risk: threat-radar ignore CVE-XXXX-XXXXX
What's Next
- Real-time CVE feed (when a new vulnerability drops affecting you, know in minutes)
- Remediation automation (auto-file PRs to update dependencies)
- Integration with vulnerability scanners (nessus, qualys API)
