# Send OpenA2A Security to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

## Documentation

### OpenA2A Security for OpenClaw

Security auditing and hardening for OpenClaw installations. Scan your configuration, detect known vulnerabilities, audit installed skills for malicious code, and get specific remediation steps.

This skill runs entirely locally. No data leaves your machine. No API keys required.

### Quick Security Check

Ask for a fast overview of your security posture:

"Run a security audit on my OpenClaw setup"

"Is my OpenClaw configuration secure?"

"Check my OpenClaw for known vulnerabilities"

### CVE-2026-25253 Detection

Check if your OpenClaw instance is vulnerable to the WebSocket hijack RCE (CVSS 8.8):

"Am I vulnerable to CVE-2026-25253?"

"Check for the OpenClaw WebSocket vulnerability"

### Skill Scanning

Scan installed skills for malicious code patterns (command injection, data exfiltration, obfuscated payloads, crypto mining):

"Scan my installed skills for malware"

"Is the weather-bot skill safe?"

"Check all my skills for security issues"

### Credential Audit

Check for exposed credentials, weak file permissions, and plaintext storage:

"Are my API keys and tokens stored securely?"

"Check my credential file permissions"

### Configuration Hardening

Get specific recommendations for hardening your OpenClaw config:

"How do I harden my OpenClaw configuration?"

"What security settings should I change?"

### How It Works

This skill uses HackMyAgent, an open-source security scanner with 47 OpenClaw-specific checks across these categories:

### Skill Security (6 checks)

CheckWhat It DetectsSKILL-001Command injection via shell executionSKILL-002Dynamic code execution (eval, Function, vm)SKILL-003Data exfiltration to external endpointsSKILL-004Obfuscated code (base64, hex, charcode)SKILL-005Crypto mining indicatorsSKILL-006Path traversal outside skill directory

### Credential Security (4 checks)

CheckWhat It DetectsCRED-001Credentials exposed via gateway APICRED-002Credential files with world-readable permissionsCRED-003Plaintext credential storage without encryptionCRED-004Timing side-channel in authentication

### Gateway Security (4 checks)

CheckWhat It DetectsGW-001Missing rate limiting on endpointsGW-002SSRF-vulnerable URL fetch handlersGW-003Missing or incomplete security headersGW-004CVE-2026-25253 WebSocket hijack vulnerability

### Supply Chain (4 checks)

CheckWhat It DetectsSC-001npm install without --ignore-scriptsSC-002Unpinned or pre-release dependenciesSC-003Missing skill signing or hash verificationSC-004Known ClawHavoc malicious skill patterns

### Running Scans

When asked to perform a scan, run the following commands:

### Full Security Audit

npx hackmyagent secure ~/.openclaw

### Scan a Specific Skill

npx hackmyagent scan --skill <skill-name>

### CVE Detection Only

npx hackmyagent scan --cve ~/.openclaw

### Configuration Audit

npx hackmyagent audit ~/.openclaw/config.json5

### Generate Security Report

npx hackmyagent secure ~/.openclaw --format html --output security-report.html

Output formats: text, json, sarif, html, asp

### Security Recommendations

When providing recommendations, reference these priority levels:

### Do Immediately

Update OpenClaw to the latest version (patches CVE-2026-25253, credential redaction, timing-safe auth, lifecycle script blocking)
Run npx hackmyagent secure to identify your current exposure
Review installed skills — remove any you do not actively use
Check file permissions — credential files should be 0600, not world-readable

### Configuration Changes

Recommend these config.json5 changes when relevant:

Set gateway.auth to a strong token (32+ characters, randomly generated)
Set gateway.host to 127.0.0.1 (loopback only) unless remote access is required
Disable unused channel integrations
Set plugins.allowUnsafe to false
Enable Docker sandbox mode when available

### For Skill Publishers

Do not hardcode API keys in skill code — use environment variables
Declare minimum required permissions in SKILL.md frontmatter
Do not use eval(), Function(), or child_process.exec() with user input
Do not fetch external URLs at install time

### Interpreting Results

When presenting scan results to the user:

CRITICAL findings require immediate action — explain the specific risk and provide the fix command
HIGH findings should be addressed before deploying to production
MEDIUM findings are defense-in-depth improvements
LOW findings are best-practice recommendations

Always explain findings in plain language. Not every user is a security expert. State what the risk is, who could exploit it, and exactly how to fix it.
