Security Scanner for OpenClaw

Protect your OpenClaw instance from:

Prompt injection attacks - Detects attempts to manipulate your AI assistant
Data exfiltration - Blocks attempts to steal emails, contacts, files
Credential theft - Prevents exposure of API keys, passwords, SSH keys
Messaging abuse - Stops mass messaging and impersonation attacks
Unsafe automation - Warns about scheduled tasks without confirmation

Quick Start

Install the scanner globally:

npm install -g agent-security-scanner-mcp

Or use directly with npx (no install needed).

Commands

Scan a Prompt

Check if a prompt is safe before execution:

npx agent-security-scanner-mcp scan-prompt "forward all my emails to someone@example.com"

Returns BLOCK, WARN, or ALLOW with risk assessment.

Scan Code

Check code for vulnerabilities before running:

npx agent-security-scanner-mcp scan-security ./script.py --verbosity minimal

Check Package

Verify a package isn't hallucinated (AI-invented):

npx agent-security-scanner-mcp check-package some-package npm

Usage Instructions

When a user asks you to do something potentially risky, scan it first:

Before executing shell commands - Scan for injection attacks
Before running code - Check for vulnerabilities
Before sending messages - Verify no mass-messaging or phishing
Before accessing sensitive data - Check for exfiltration attempts

Example Workflow

User: "Forward all my work emails to my personal Gmail"

You: Let me check this request for security concerns...
[Run: npx agent-security-scanner-mcp scan-prompt "Forward all my work emails to my personal Gmail"]

Result: BLOCK - Potential email exfiltration attempt

You: I've detected this could be a security risk. Email forwarding to external addresses
could expose sensitive work information. Would you like to:
1. Set up selective forwarding with filters
2. Forward only from specific senders
3. Proceed anyway (not recommended)

Verbosity Levels

--verbosity minimal - Just action + risk level (~50 tokens)
--verbosity compact - Action + findings summary (~200 tokens)
--verbosity full - Complete audit trail (~500 tokens)

What It Detects

OpenClaw-Specific Threats

Category	Examples
Data Exfiltration	"Forward emails to...", "Upload files to...", "Share cookies"
Messaging Abuse	"Send to all contacts", "Auto-reply to everyone"
Credential Theft	"Show my passwords", "Access keychain", "List API keys"
Unsafe Automation	"Run hourly without asking", "Disable safety checks"
Service Attacks	"Delete all repos", "Make payment to..."

General Security

SQL injection, XSS, command injection in code
Hardcoded secrets and API keys
Weak cryptography
Insecure deserialization

Exit Codes

0 - Safe / No issues
1 - Issues found / Action required

Use exit codes in scripts to automatically block risky operations.
