AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is an explicit-user-command, first-party agent extension setup with runtime networked backup capability. It warrants a warning for platform-control and data-handling risk, but the inspected source does not meet the threshold for malicious install-hook abuse.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user runs the AgentVault setup command and later starts the configured OpenClaw channel.
Impact
The package gains an allowed OpenClaw channel and can send configured backup data to its service.
Mechanism
User-command OpenClaw configuration mutation and configured encrypted backup upload.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The explicit setup command edits the user's OpenClaw configuration, adds this plugin to the allow list, and executes the platform CLI.
- When configured with a backup code, the running channel schedules encrypted state backup uploads to the configured API.
- The package declares an OpenClaw extension and a command-line entrypoint, creating an agent-platform control surface.
Evidence against
- package.json contains no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
- Configuration mutation is reached from the user-invoked setup command, not package installation.
- The backup upload requires a configured backup code and uses the configured API URL.
