OpenClaw MongoDB Semantic Memory

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a clearly disclosed long-term memory skill, with expected persistence and local daemon behavior, but users should understand automatic memory capture before enabling it.

Install this only if you want an agent to keep searchable memories across sessions. Review or disable automatic hooks if conversations may include secrets, regulated data, or untrusted user content, and prefer pinned/reviewed plugin versions with a constrained local or containerized daemon.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly describes automatic cross-session capture of user statements, decisions, and preferences, but does not present a clear consent, privacy, or data-minimization warning alongside that behavior. In an agent context, this can lead to persistent retention of sensitive personal or business information without informed user awareness, increasing privacy and compliance risk.

External Transmission

Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.

## Troubleshooting

**"Memory daemon not reachable"**
- Check daemon is running: `curl http://localhost:7654/health`
- Start daemon: `cd openclaw-memory && pnpm dev:daemon`
- Or use Docker: `docker compose up -d`
