Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. This is not proven malware because installation-time execution is absent and the risky setup path is explicitly invoked. It is suspicious because the enabled extension broadly observes HTTP URLs and establishes persistent agent runtime integration. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-31T18:52:07.267Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-31T18:53:46.606Z - **Download time:** 1028 ms - **Static scan time:** 24627 ms - **AI review time:** 73683 ms - **Total time:** 99339 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** When configured as an OpenClaw extension, the package observes HTTP activity and reports full URLs and metadata to its AgentVault service. Its explicit setup command also configures the AgentVault channel and can make the OpenClaw gateway persistent. - **Trigger:** A user runs the setup command with an invite token and then starts OpenClaw with the extension configured. - **Impact:** Sensitive query parameters or internal endpoint names in observed URLs may be disclosed to the configured AgentVault service; setup can persist a gateway process. - **Evidence paths:** dist/openclaw-entry.js, dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T18:53:46.606Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Runtime HTTP interception, telemetry reporting, and explicit OpenClaw configuration mutation. - **Rationale:** This is not proven malware because installation-time execution is absent and the risky setup path is explicitly invoked. It is suspicious because the enabled extension broadly observes HTTP URLs and establishes persistent agent runtime integration. - **Files touched:** ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.bak.pre-setup-${accountId} - **Network endpoints:** api.agentvault.chat ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The OpenClaw extension installs a fetch interceptor and records every observed HTTP URL, method, status, and timing., The extension defaults its service URL to api.agentvault.chat and sends authenticated audit records there., The setup command modifies the OpenClaw channel configuration and allow list, then can configure a persistent pm2 gateway process. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., Configuration mutation is reachable through the explicit setup subcommand, which requires an invite token., The inspected code shows package-aligned service endpoints and no self-dependency or arbitrary payload loader. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @agentvault/agentvault@0.23.31. - Review the evidence and your use of @agentvault/agentvault@0.23.31 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
