AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source establishes an explicit-user-command OpenClaw extension installer with configuration mutation and optional persistence. There is no automatic npm lifecycle execution or concrete evidence of secret theft, stealth, or a malicious install chain.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
The user runs agentvault setup with an invite token.
Impact
The command can change the user's OpenClaw configuration and cause the gateway to restart or persist through pm2.
Mechanism
OpenClaw configuration mutation, package installation, and optional gateway persistence.
AI rationale

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 93.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest exposes an OpenClaw extension and a command-line program.
- The explicit setup command edits the user's OpenClaw channel configuration and allow list.
- Setup can install or update this package in OpenClaw and configure a persistent pm2 gateway.
- Enrollment sends the user-supplied invite token to the selected AgentVault API.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- The configuration and persistence actions require an explicit setup command and an invite token.
- Gateway restart requires an interactive yes response.
- No hidden endpoint, secret harvesting, or automatic install-time execution was found.
