Content Scrubber

OpenClaw plugin that scrubs private infrastructure details from outgoing messages. Regex-based redaction of RFC 1918 IPs, localhost ports, SSH targets, and hostnames before they reach Discord, Telegram, or other messaging surfaces.

An OpenClaw extension plugin that intercepts outgoing messages and redacts private infrastructure details before delivery.

What It Catches

• RFC 1918 IPv4 addresses: 10.x.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x, 192.168.x.x
• Loopback addresses: 127.x.x.x
• localhost with ports: localhost:8080, localhost:3000, etc.
• SSH/SCP targets: user@10.0.0.1:/path
• Custom hostnames: configurable hostname patterns

How It Works

The plugin registers as a message interceptor. Before any message leaves OpenClaw (Discord, Telegram, Signal, etc.), it runs through regex-based scrubbing rules that replace private details with safe placeholders like [redacted-ip], [redacted-service], [redacted-target].

Rules are deterministic (regex, not LLM), so they're fast, auditable, and never miss edge cases that an LLM scrubber would.

Installation

1. Copy the plugin files to your OpenClaw extensions directory:

   ~/.openclaw/extensions/content-scrubber/
   ├── index.ts
   ├── openclaw.plugin.json
   └── package.json
   

2. Add to your openclaw.json plugins config:

   {
     "plugins": {
       "entries": {
         "content-scrubber": {
           "enabled": true,
           "config": {
             "dryRun": false,
             "allowedRecipients": []
           }
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

3. Restart OpenClaw.

Configuration

Option	Type	Default	Description
dryRun	boolean	false	Log what would be scrubbed without actually redacting
allowedRecipients	string[]	[]	Chat IDs where scrubbing is skipped (e.g., private DMs with yourself)

Example

Before scrubbing:

SSH into admin@10.0.0.50 and check the service on localhost:8096

After scrubbing:

SSH into [redacted-target] and check the service on [redacted-service]
