@agentvault/agentvault@0.23.57
End-to-end encrypted messaging for AI agents: connects an agent to its owner, rooms and other agents on AgentVault.
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package’s observability feature automatically collects full URLs from outbound requests and uploads them with the AgentVault device credential. This is runtime telemetry with broader collection than the README discloses, so it warrants a warning.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The OpenClaw plugin starts and observes outbound fetch requests while connected.
Impact
Request paths and query strings may expose sensitive data to the telemetry service.
Mechanism
A global fetch interceptor reports request URLs to channel telemetry, which sends spans to the configured AgentVault API using the device JWT.
AI rationale
The package’s observability feature automatically collects full URLs from outbound requests and uploads them with the AgentVault device credential. This is runtime telemetry with broader collection than the README discloses, so it warrants a warning.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 89.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The OpenClaw entry point installs a fetch interceptor and forwards observed HTTP request URLs to channel telemetry.
- Telemetry spans retain the complete request URL as `url.full`.
- After connecting, the channel creates a telemetry reporter using its device JWT; it posts buffered spans to `/api/v1/telemetry/ingest`.
- The README mentions telemetry for message operations but does not disclose collection of URLs from outbound HTTP requests.
Evidence against
- The package documents telemetry as feeding its trust scoring engine and observability dashboard.
- The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; `prepublishOnly` only runs the build.
