AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiScanner claims of command-output exfiltration are not supported by the inspected command paths. The remaining risk is explicit-user-command agent configuration and persistence.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
User runs `agentvault setup`, `pm2-setup`, or `doctor --fix`.
Impact
User-authorized agent-control configuration and persistent gateway startup.
Mechanism
Explicit OpenClaw integration and process-manager configuration.
AI rationale
Scanner claims of command-output exfiltration are not supported by the inspected command paths. The remaining risk is explicit-user-command agent configuration and persistence.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- `dist/cli.js` setup explicitly installs an OpenClaw plugin and registers its channel/config.
- `dist/cli.js` can configure PM2 startup persistence after explicit `setup` or `pm2-setup`.
- `dist/cli.js` doctor `--fix` can alter an OpenClaw LaunchAgent wrapper/plist.
- `dist/openclaw-entry.js` starts a configured AgentVault channel and contacts its configured API.
Evidence against
- `package.json` has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
- Config and persistence changes require explicit CLI subcommands, with restart confirmation where applicable.
- No source evidence of shell-output exfiltration, broad credential harvesting, or remote payload execution.
- Network calls target the package-aligned configured AgentVault API, including `https://api.agentvault.chat`.
