- description
- Security-first skill auditing and quarantine for OpenClaw skills. Use when installing new skills, reviewing skills from unknown sources, scanning skills for prompt injection/exfiltration/supply-chain risks, or when a bot suspects a skill is malicious. Guides static + optional sandbox checks, quarantines suspicious skills, and produces an owner-action checklist (Delete / Report / Allow / Scan all).
SecurityClaw (Skill Scanner)
Use the scanner script
Run the scanner (read-only by default):
python3 scripts/securityclaw_scan.py --skills-dir ~/.openclaw/skills --out report.jsonQuarantine anything suspicious (moves folders, no deletion):
python3 scripts/securityclaw_scan.py --skills-dir ~/.openclaw/skills --quarantine-dir ~/.openclaw/skills-quarantine --quarantine --out report.jsonWhat to do when findings exist
If the report shows severity >= high for any skill:
1) Do not execute the skill. 2) Quarantine the skill folder. 3) Notify the owner with: - skill name - top reasons + file/line locations - recommended action 4) Await owner instruction: - Delete: remove quarantined skill - Report: prepare public report / IOCs (no secrets) - Allow: add allowlist entry and restore - Scan all: deep scan everything
Optional: sandbox/dynamic checks (advanced)
Dynamic checks are optional and should run only after owner approval.
- Prefer running unknown code with:
- no network egress - read-only filesystem except a temp workspace - no access to OpenClaw config/secrets
