Openclaw Security

Skill: OpenClaw Security Audit

Purpose

OpenClaw has deep access to the browser — it can read and interact with any tab it's attached to. This skill audits what it can access, what it's actually doing, and whether any skills have permissions they shouldn't.

What It Checks

Tab Access

• What tabs is OpenClaw currently attached to?
• Are any sensitive tabs attached (banking, email, personal accounts)?
• Is the CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) port open unexpectedly?

Skills with Sensitive Permissions

• Skills with Bash(*) — unrestricted shell access
• Skills with Bash(op:*) — 1Password access (especially dangerous)
• Skills with network fetch permissions to external services
• Any skills created or modified in the last 24h

Gateway Config

• What agent workspaces are registered?
• What paths does each agent have access to?
• Are any agents mapped to sensitive directories?

Logs

• OpenClaw activity log: any unusual actions, bulk operations, or errors
