SkillGuard โ€” Skill Security Scanner

Scan OpenClaw skills for security threats before they compromise your system.

Scan all installed skills

python3 {scripts}/scanner.py

Scan a single skill

python3 {scripts}/scanner.py --skill <skill-name>

Check a skill name for typosquatting

python3 {scripts}/scanner.py --check-name <name>

Scan from ClawHub before installing

python3 {scripts}/scanner.py --fetch-clawhub <skill-name>

Critical Threats

Reverse shells โ€” nc -e, bash -i >& /dev/tcp, ncat, mkfifo Code obfuscation โ€” base64 -d | bash, eval(), exec() with encoded payloads

High Threats

Suspicious URLs โ€” webhook.site, glot.io, ngrok.io, pastebin.com Memory poisoning โ€” Instructions to write to SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, AGENTS.md Malicious prerequisites โ€” Download instructions in docs (the ClawHavoc attack vector)

Medium Threats

Credential access โ€” Patterns accessing .env, API keys, tokens, SSH keys Data exfiltration โ€” Outbound HTTP POST/PUT with sensitive data Hardcoded IPs โ€” Public IPs embedded in code Typosquatting โ€” Skill names similar to popular/known skills (Levenshtein โ‰ค 2) Crypto wallet access โ€” Seed phrases, private keys, wallet patterns

Low Threats

Shell execution โ€” subprocess, os.system, child_process (common but worth noting)

Risk Levels

๐Ÿ”ด CRITICAL (โ‰ฅ50) โ€” Do NOT install. Likely malicious. ๐ŸŸ  HIGH (25-49) โ€” Review manually before installing. Multiple suspicious patterns. ๐ŸŸก MEDIUM (10-24) โ€” Some flags, likely false positives but worth checking. ๐ŸŸข LOW (1-9) โ€” Minor flags, generally safe. โœ… CLEAN (0) โ€” No issues detected.

False Positive Likelihood

Each finding includes a FP estimate (low/medium/high): low โ€” Likely a real threat medium โ€” Could be legitimate, review context high โ€” Probably benign (e.g., security tool referencing attack patterns, search tool using fetch)

Workflow: Before Installing a Skill

Run python3 {scripts}/scanner.py --fetch-clawhub <skill-name> (requires clawhub CLI) Review the report โ€” anything CRITICAL or HIGH with low FP = reject If CLEAN or LOW only โ†’ safe to install If MEDIUM โ†’ skim the flagged files manually

Output

Console summary with emoji risk levels JSON report saved to {baseDir}/../data/scan_results.json (configurable via --json-out)

Context: Why This Matters

As of February 2026, 341 malicious skills were found on ClawHub (Koi Security / ClawHavoc campaign), distributing Atomic Stealer malware via fake prerequisites. OpenClaw has 512 known vulnerabilities (Kaspersky audit). There is no official skill vetting process. SkillGuard fills this gap. See references/threat-landscape.md for detailed background.

Category context

Identity, auth, scanning, governance, audit, and operational guardrails.
