Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse - **Selected version:** 0.23.32 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 package is not an npm lifecycle attack, but its explicit setup path mutates an AI-agent control surface and enables remotely delivered instructions with backend-routed execution. That is a real, package-aligned capability requiring a warning rather than a malware block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T16:18:28.968Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T16:19:50.501Z - **Download time:** 757 ms - **Static scan time:** 26507 ms - **AI review time:** 54267 ms - **Total time:** 81533 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:** An explicit AgentVault setup or create command changes OpenClaw configuration, installs or updates the AgentVault plugin, and can configure gateway persistence. At extension runtime, API-provided skills and skill-call data are sent to the AgentVault service. - **Trigger:** The user runs the agentvault setup or create CLI command, then OpenClaw loads the configured extension. - **Impact:** The AgentVault service can supply instructions to the enabled extension and receives authenticated skill invocation data; setup can persist the OpenClaw gateway through pm2. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js, dist/openclaw-entry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T16:19:50.501Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Agent extension setup with remote skill delivery and backend-routed MCP execution. - **Rationale:** This package is not an npm lifecycle attack, but its explicit setup path mutates an AI-agent control surface and enables remotely delivered instructions with backend-routed execution. That is a real, package-aligned capability requiring a warning rather than a malware block. - **Files touched:** ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.bak.pre-setup-${options.accountId}, ~/.openclaw/agentvault, ~/.openclaw/agents/${accountId}/agentvault - **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 user-invoked setup command installs the plugin and writes AgentVault settings plus an allow-list entry into the OpenClaw configuration., The extension downloads skill instructions from the AgentVault API using a stored device credential and exposes them as MCP prompts., Skill calls send their name, arguments, and instructions to the AgentVault backend for execution., The CLI can register the OpenClaw gateway with pm2 auto-start after setup. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The configuration and persistence operations are reached through explicit CLI setup or create commands requiring an invite token., The observed network host is the package's configured AgentVault API endpoint; no unrelated exfiltration receiver was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @agentvault/agentvault@0.23.32. - Review the evidence and your use of @agentvault/agentvault@0.23.32 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.
