Description
Perform a comprehensive read-only security audit of Clawdbot's own configuration. This is a knowledge-based skill that teaches Clawdbot to identify hardening opportunities across the system. Use when user asks to "run security check", "audit clawdbot", "check security hardening", or "what vulnerabilities does my Clawdbot have". This skill uses Clawdbot's internal capabilities and file system access to inspect configuration, detect misconfigurations, and recommend remediations. It is designed to be extensible - new checks can be added by updating this skill's knowledge.
Usage Guidance
Review this skill before installing. Its audit goal is reasonable, but do not treat it as strictly read-only unless the `--fix` instructions are removed or the permissions are changed to disclose write access. Avoid running workflows that print full config files; require redaction or allowlisted parsing of non-secret settings only.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: Developer: Version: Description: OpenClaw Agent Skill The skill's primary purpose is a legitimate 'read-only security audit'. However, there is a critical contradiction: the `skill.json` explicitly declares `"readOnly": true` and `"modifiesSettings": false`, while both `SKILL.md` and `README.md` describe a `--fix` flag that 'applies guardrail remediations' by modifying configuration files and permissions. This inconsistency is a significant vulnerability in the skill's self-description and could lead to unexpected agent behavior or a misrepresentation of its true capabilities, making it suspicious despite the otherwise benign intent of a security audit.
Capability Assessment
⚠ Credentials
Inspecting Clawdbot config and credential-file metadata fits the audit purpose, but complete config dumping and undocumented fix-mode writes exceed a strictly read-only security audit.
⚠ Install Mechanism
The package installs only markdown/JSON skill artifacts and no executable payload, but skill.json declares read-only permissions and `modifiesSettings: false` while the runtime guidance documents state-changing remediation.
⚠ Instruction Scope
The audit instructions include broad local configuration inspection and `cat` of entire Clawdbot config files, which may place tokens or webhook secrets into agent output and logs.
ℹ Persistence & Privilege
No background service, persistence hook, package install, or hidden remote payload was found; the privilege concern is the documented modification of security settings and permissions, not persistent execution.
⚠ Purpose & Capability
The audit purpose is coherent, but SKILL.md and README.md advertise `--fix` behavior that changes access policies, logging settings, and file permissions despite repeated read-only claims.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install clawdbot-security-check
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /clawdbot-security-check
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
