Security Audit for OpenClaw

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This security-audit skill is a disclosed local logging and audit helper, with minor documentation caveats but no evidence of hidden installation, exfiltration, or unsafe automatic behavior.

Install only if you want a local record of risky agent actions. Avoid logging raw secrets, review audit logs before sharing them, enable notifications only to trusted channels, and run config audits without `--fix` first so you can review changes before applying them.

Finding
The guide states the skill 'installs automatically when triggered' but does not define what counts as a trigger or what installation actions occur. In an agent setting, ambiguous activation conditions can cause unexpected execution or deployment of monitoring/persistence behavior without clear user intent, which is a security and consent problem.
