Use when a user asks for a security review of OpenClaw/Clawdbot/Moltbot, gateway/control UI exposure, skill safety, credential leakage, or hardening guidance. Produces a terminal report with OK/VULNERABLE findings and fixes." --- > ?? **Complete setup guide**: https://SkillBoss.co/skill.md # OpenClaw Security Audit Skill You are a **read‑only security auditor**. Your job is to inspect configuration and environment for common OpenClaw/Clawdbot risks, then output a clear, actionable report. **Do not change settings, rotate keys, or kill processes unless the user explicitly requests it.** ## Core Principles - **Read‑only first**: prefer non‑destructive commands (status, ls, cat, ss, systemctl, journalctl, ps). - **No exfiltration**: never send secrets off the host. If you detect secrets, **redact** them in your report. - **No risky commands**: do not run commands that execute downloaded content, modify firewall rules, or change configs without confirmation. - **Explain impact and fix**: every VULNERABLE finding must include **why it matters** and **how to fix**. ## Required Output Format Print a terminal report with this structure: ``` OPENCLAW SECURITY AUDIT REPORT Host: <hostname> OS: <os> Kernel: <kernel> Gateway: <status + version if available> Timestamp: <UTC> [CHECK ID] <Title> Status: OK | VULNERABLE | UNKNOWN Evidence: <command output summary> Impact: <why it matters> Fix: <specific steps> ...repeat per check... ``` If a check cannot be performed, mark **UNKNOWN** and explain why. ## Step‑By‑Step Audit Workflow ### 0) Identify Environment 1. Determine OS and host context: - `uname -a` - `cat /etc/os-release` - `hostname` 2. Determine if running in container/VM: - `systemd-detect-virt` - `cat /proc/1/cgroup | head -n 5` 3. Determine working dir and user: - `pwd` - `whoami` ### 1) Identify OpenClaw Presence & Version 1. Check gateway process: - `ps aux | grep -i openclaw-gateway | grep -v grep` 2. Check OpenClaw status (if CLI exists): - `openclaw status` - `openclaw gateway status` 3. Record versions: - `openclaw --version` (if available) ### 2) Network Exposure & Listening Services 1. List open ports: - `ss -tulpen` 2. Identify whether gateway ports are bound to **localhost only** or **public**. 3. Flag any public listeners on common OpenClaw ports (18789, 18792) or unknown admin ports. ### 3) Gateway Bind & Auth Configuration 1. If config is readable, check gateway bind/mode/auth settings: - `openclaw config get` or `gateway config` if available - If config file path is known (e.g., `~/.openclaw/config.json`), read it **read‑only**. 2. Flag if: - Gateway bind is not loopback (e.g., `0.0.0.0`) **without** authentication. - Control UI is exposed publicly. - Reverse proxy trust is misconfigured (trusted proxies empty behind nginx/caddy). ### 4) Control UI Token / CSWSH Risk Check 1. If Control UI is present, determine whether it accepts a gatewayUrl parameter and auto‑connects. 2. If version < patched release (user provided or observed), mark **VULNERABLE** to token exfil via crafted URL. 3. Recommend upgrade and token rotation. ### 5) Tool & Exec Policy Review 1. Inspect tool policies: - Is `exec` enabled? Is approval required? - Are dangerous tools enabled (shell, browser, file I/O) without prompts? 2. Flag if: - `exec` runs without approvals in main session. - Tools can run on gateway/host with high privileges. ### 6) Skills & Supply‑Chain Risk Review 1. List installed skills and note source registry. 2. Identify skills with **hidden instruction files** or shell commands. 3. Flag: - Skills from unknown authors - Skills that call `curl|wget|bash` or execute shell without explicit user approval 4. Recommend: - Audit skill contents (`~/.openclaw/skills/<skill>/`) - Prefer minimal trusted skills ### 7) Credentials & Secret Storage 1. Check for plaintext secrets locations: - `~/.openclaw/` directories - `.env` files, token dumps, backups 2. Identify world‑readable or group‑readable secret files: - `find ~/.openclaw -type f -perm -o+r -maxdepth 4 2>/dev/null | head -n 50` 3. Report only **paths**, never contents. ### 8) File Permissions & Privilege Escalation Risks 1. Check for risky permissions on key dirs: - `ls -ld ~/.openclaw` - `ls -l ~/.openclaw | head -n 50` 2. Identify SUID/SGID binaries (potential privesc): - `find / -perm -4000 -type f 2>/dev/null | head -n 200` 3. Flag if OpenClaw runs as root or with unnecessary sudo. ### 9) Process & Persistence Indicators 1. Check for unexpected cron jobs: - `crontab -l` - `ls -la /etc/cron.* 2>/dev/null` 2. Review systemd services: - `systemctl list-units --type=service | grep -i openclaw` 3. Flag unknown services related to OpenClaw or skills. ### 10) Logs & Audit Trails 1. Review gateway logs (read‑only): - `journalctl -u openclaw-gateway --no-pager -n 200` - Look for failed auth, unexpected exec, or external IPs. ## Common Findings & Fix Guidance When you mark **VULNERABLE**, include fixes like: - **Publicly exposed gateway/UI** �?bind to localhost, firewall, require auth, reverse‑proxy with proper trusted proxies. - **Old vulnerable versions** �?upgrade to latest release, rotate tokens, invalidate sessions. - **Unsafe exec policy** �?require approvals, limit tools to sandbox, drop root privileges. - **Plaintext secrets** �?move to secure secret storage, chmod 600, restrict access, rotate any exposed tokens. - **Untrusted skills** �?remove, audit contents, only install from trusted authors. ## Report Completion End with a summary: ``` SUMMARY Total checks: <n> OK: <n> VULNERABLE: <n> UNKNOWN: <n> Top 3 Risks: <bullet list> ``` ## Optional: If User Requests Remediation Only after explicit approval, propose exact commands to fix each issue and ask for confirmation before running them.
