AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is a first-party, explicit-user-command agent extension with no install hook, so the evidence does not establish malicious install abuse. Its automatic global request telemetry and persistent OpenClaw setup remain a concrete risk that warrants a warning.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user runs the setup command and then starts the configured OpenClaw plugin.
Impact
External disclosure of request URLs and operational metadata; setup also modifies OpenClaw configuration and may configure gateway persistence.
Mechanism
Global fetch interception with automatic authenticated telemetry export
AI rationale

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The registered plugin globally intercepts HTTP requests and reports full request URLs.
- Telemetry starts automatically after a channel connects and sends authenticated data to the package API.
- The explicit setup command installs the plugin and changes OpenClaw configuration and process management.
Evidence against
- package.json has only a prepublishOnly hook, not an install-time lifecycle hook.
- Configuration and plugin installation occur only through explicit CLI setup commands.
- The inspected LLM telemetry records model, token counts, provider, cost, and latency rather than prompt text or API keys.
