@agentvault/agentvault@0.23.18
The official **OpenClaw** plugin for AgentVault. Adds cryptographic identity, earned trust, and Signal-grade encrypted communications to OpenClaw agents. (Looking for a different framework? See **[Which Framework?](#which-framework)** below.)
AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is not concrete malware, but it has a real first-party agent-extension lifecycle and telemetry capability that warrants a warning under the stated policy.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
User installs/enables the OpenClaw plugin or explicitly runs setup/create/doctor --fix.
Impact
Metadata disclosure to the configured AgentVault endpoint and user-authorized OpenClaw lifecycle/config changes.
Mechanism
first-party agent extension setup plus telemetry interception
AI rationale
This is not concrete malware, but it has a real first-party agent-extension lifecycle and telemetry capability that warrants a warning under the stated policy.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- dist/cli.js setup explicitly installs/configures the OpenClaw plugin and allow-list.
- dist/openclaw-entry.js globally intercepts fetch and reports HTTP/LLM metadata to telemetry.
- dist/cli.js doctor --fix can create a wrapper and alter a macOS LaunchAgent.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
- CLI mutations require explicit setup, create, pm2-setup, or doctor --fix commands.
- Telemetry posts metadata to the declared AgentVault API; inspected code does not send command output or secret-file contents.
- State writes are confined to configured AgentVault data directories with restrictive modes.
