Skill Security Scanner

Security audit tool for OpenClaw skills. Scans for credential harvesting, code injection, network exfiltration, obfuscation. ALWAYS run before installing any new skill from external sources. Triggers on: new skill installation, skill audit, security scan, skill review, before loading external skill.

Security audit tool for OpenClaw skills. Run before installing any new skill.

Quick Audit

# Audit a skill directory
~/workspace/skills/skill-security/audit.sh /path/to/skill

# Audit all installed skills
~/workspace/skills/skill-security/audit-all.sh

What It Checks

Check	Risk Level	Pattern
Network Exfiltration	🚨 HIGH	requests., urllib, http.client, socket., fetch(, axios
Credential Harvesting	🚨 HIGH	.ssh/, .aws/, pass , keyring, credential, secret, token file reads
Code Injection	🚨 CRITICAL	exec(, eval(, compile(, Function(, __import__
Obfuscation	⚠️ MEDIUM	base64.decode, atob, encoded payloads
Env Dumping	⚠️ MEDIUM	os.environ, process.env, getenv bulk access
Subprocess Abuse	⚠️ MEDIUM	subprocess.run, os.system, child_process with credentials

Severity Levels

• CRITICAL (🚨): Block installation, report to owner
• HIGH (🔴): Requires manual review before use
• MEDIUM (🟡): Note but allow if from trusted source
• LOW (🟢): Informational only

Safe Skill Checklist

Before using any skill:

1. ✅ Is it from a trusted source? (official OpenClaw, known publisher)
2. ✅ Is the code readable (not obfuscated)?
3. ✅ Does it document why it needs network/credential access?
4. ✅ Does it scope file access to its own directory?
5. ✅ Has it been audited by the community?

Integration with AGENTS.md

Add this to your workflow:

## Skill Installation Protocol

Before loading any new skill:
1. Run `~/workspace/skills/skill-security/audit.sh <skill-path>`
2. If CRITICAL/HIGH findings → STOP, alert the user
3. If MEDIUM findings → Review manually, proceed if justified
4. If CLEAN → Safe to use

Automatic Protection

The scanner creates a blocklist at ./blocklist.txt. Skills with CRITICAL findings are automatically added.

Manual Override

If a skill is flagged but you've verified it's safe:

echo "skill-name:verified:YYYY-MM-DD:reason" >> allowlist.txt
