Claw Audit

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This looks like a real OpenClaw security-audit skill, but it includes unsafe scanner and system-audit behavior that should be reviewed before installation.

Install only after reviewing the scanner bypass and async auditor issues. Run audits as an unprivileged user, avoid the async system auditors until fixed, do not grant shadow/adm/docker groups or NOPASSWD sudo just to improve coverage, and do not rely on results for any skill that can include its own .claw-audit-trusted file.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
  • Tool Hijacking and SpoofingModifies or replaces tools so legitimate-looking calls execute attacker logic
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions

Unconditional Access to the Cloud Instance Metadata Service<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `scripts/audit-system.mjs:902-916` **Equivalent Implementation**: `scripts/audit-system-full-async.mjs:934-948` **Vulnerability Type**: Active access to a credential-bearing cloud metadata boundary **Risk Level**: Medium ### Complete Code Snippet ```js function auditNetworkSegmentation() { addCheck(); // SYS-100: Check if running in cloud/VM with metadata service exposed const metadataReachable = run("timeout", ["2", "curl", "-s", "http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/"]); if (metadataReachable) { // Check if iptables blocks it const blocked = runShell("iptables -L OUTPUT -n | grep 169.254.169.254 || sudo -n iptables -L OUTPUT -n | grep 169.254.169.254"); if (!blocked) { addFinding( "warning", "SYS-100", "Cloud metadata service accessible without firewall rules", "Instance metadata API (169.254.169.254) is reachable. Compromised OpenClaw agent could steal IAM credentials.", "Block metadata API: sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -d 169.254.169.254 -j REJECT" ); } } ``` ### Technical Analysis Every invocation of the full system audit actively sends an HTTP request to the link-local cloud instance metadata service. This endpoint is a sensitive trust boundary because cloud platforms may expose instance identity information and temporary role credentials through related metadata paths. The current request targets `/latest/meta-data/`, rather than a specific IAM credential path, and the inspected code does not print or transmit the returned response. Nevertheless, it unnecessarily retrieves the response body and places it in the auditor process. A passive security audit can determine configuration state without consuming metadata content. This behavior is especially concerning when the auditor runs with broader permissions, is incorporated into another automation pipeline, or is later modified or compromised. It creates a ready-made met ...[truncated 1159 chars]
Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Disable cloud metadata probing by default and require an explicit option such as `--check-cloud-metadata`. 2. Prefer inspection of local routing and firewall configuration over an HTTP request. 3. If an active probe is essential, perform a connection-only or headers-only test and discard all response content immediately. 4. Use cloud-specific protections such as IMDSv2, strict hop limits, and workload-level metadata restrictions. 5. Do not request credential-bearing metadata paths. 6. Clearly document that this check performs a network request to a sensitive link-local endpoint. 7. Add tests proving that the default audit never contacts the metadata service. ]]>

Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Separate ordinary OpenClaw checks from invasive CIS-style host checks. 2. Require explicit, informed opt-in before reading SSH authorization files, `/etc/shadow`, logs, or process details. 3. Avoid persistent membership in `shadow`, `adm`, or `docker`; use a narrowly scoped, one-time privileged helper where absolutely necessary. 4. Do not recommend weakening protected-file permissions merely to make an audit pass. 5. Avoid NOPASSWD sudo recommendations. If privileged checks are unavoidable, use a minimal root-owned helper with a fixed operation set and no user-controlled arguments. 6. Derive findings from file metadata or privileged system APIs without loading complete sensitive contents where possible. 7. Document every sensitive resource accessed and the exact reason it is required. 8. Run the ordinary skill and configuration scanner as an unprivileged user. 9. Treat inaccessible checks as unavailable rather than encouraging broad privilege expansion. ]]>

Untrusted Skill Can Disable Scanning with a Self-Declared Trust Marker<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `scripts/scan-skills.sh:129-136` **Vulnerability Type**: Attacker-controlled trust bypass **Risk Level**: High ### Complete Code Snippet ```bash # Also skip skills explicitly marked as trusted (first-party security tools) if [ -f "${skill_dir}/.claw-audit-trusted" ]; then if ! $OUTPUT_JSON; then echo -e "\n${GRAY}━━━ Skipping (trusted): ${skill_name}${NC}" fi return fi ``` ### Technical Analysis The scanner treats the presence of `.claw-audit-trusted` inside a skill directory as sufficient proof that the skill is trusted. The party controlling the untrusted skill package also controls whether this file exists. There is no validation of the marker's creator, owner, permissions, signature, package identity, or content hash. Trust is therefore self-asserted by the object being evaluated. Returning immediately also prevents every configured malicious-pattern rule from running against that directory. This is a fail-open trust model and permits complete scanner evasion rather than merely suppressing an individual false positive. ### Attack Path 1. An attacker creates a skill containing malicious instructions or executable files. 2. The attacker adds an empty `.claw-audit-trusted` file to the skill package. 3. A victim installs the skill in an OpenClaw skill directory. 4. The victim runs `scan-skills.sh` or invokes a combined security score. 5. The scanner detects the marker and returns before enumerating or scanning the skill's files. 6. Human-readable output labels the skill as “trusted,” increasing the likelihood that the victim accepts the malicious package. 7. The malicious skill remains available for later loading or execution. ### Impact Assessment The vulnerability provides a complete bypass of ClawAudit's skill-pattern scanning for attacker-controlled packages. It can conceal any threat category the scanner is designed to detect, including prompt injection, credential acces ...[truncated 430 chars]
Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove the in-package `.claw-audit-trusted` bypass. 2. Store trust decisions outside scanned skill directories in an owner-controlled configuration file. 3. Bind each trust entry to a cryptographic hash, verified package signature, publisher identity, and expected package version. 4. Require the trust database to be owned by the user or administrator and not writable by installed skills. 5. Continue scanning trusted packages and use trust only to adjust presentation or suppress specifically reviewed findings. 6. Record who approved a trust decision, when it was approved, and which exact artifact digest was reviewed. 7. Warn when an untrusted package contains a `.claw-audit-trusted` file rather than honoring it. 8. Add a regression test proving that a malicious fixture containing the marker is still scanned. ]]>

Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Replace `child_process.exec` with `execFile` or `spawn`. 2. Preserve arguments as an array and never reconstruct a command by calling `args.join(" ")`. 3. Invoke privileged commands as argument arrays, for example `execFile("sudo", ["-n", cmd, ...args], options)`. 4. Restrict `runShell` to constant commands with no dynamic values and enforce that restriction through code structure. 5. Avoid parsing `find` output by newline because valid file names can contain newlines. Use Node.js filesystem APIs or null-delimited output. 6. Add regression tests using file names containing spaces, quotes, semicolons, dollar-sign substitutions, backticks, redirections, and newlines. 7. Run all auditors with the least privileged account possible. 8. Review every async `run` call for values originating from filesystems, configuration, environment variables, process output, or user input. ]]>

| CRIT-003 | Reverse shell (nc -l, /dev/tcp/) |
| CRIT-004 | Prompt injection ("ignore previous instructions") |
| CRIT-005 | External binary execution (download & execute) |

**Warnings (WARN):**
| Code | Issue |

Finding
The supplied code chunk is a generic test harness (`tests/run.sh`) for running `node --test` over test files and formatting the results. It does not inspect OpenClaw skills, configurations, vulnerabilities, malware, permissions, or security scores, nor does it perform hardening actions. Its primary purpose is materially different from the declared description, so this is a clear mismatch.
