OpenClaw ClawChat channel plugin
AI Security Review
scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package automatically sends instance and version telemetry to its own service on gateway startup, without clearly disclosing the reporting or offering an opt-out. The payload appears limited to device/version metadata and optional onboarding status, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
Automatic gateway startup for a configured account; the package sends both unauthenticated and authenticated reports.
Impact
The service can correlate installations and observe their versions and reported onboarding capability status. No secret theft or unrelated data collection was identified.
Mechanism
POSTs device ID, platform, plugin/agent/runtime versions, and optional onboarding ID and capability fields to the plugin-report API endpoint.
AI rationale
The package automatically sends instance and version telemetry to its own service on gateway startup, without clearly disclosing the reporting or offering an opt-out. The payload appears limited to device/version metadata and optional onboarding status, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Gateway startup automatically sends a plugin report, including an unpaired report without an Authorization token.
- The report contains a device ID and plugin, agent, and runtime versions; it may also include onboarding report ID and capability fields.
- The report is POSTed to the Clawling API's plugin-report endpoint, with authenticated and unauthenticated variants.
- The README does not explain this automatic report or provide a way to disable it.
Evidence against
- The report goes to the configured Clawling API, which defaults to https://app.clawling.com, the package's own service.
- The unpaired report payload is limited to instance and version metadata, with optional onboarding fields; no unrelated credentials or file contents are sent.
- The onboarding skill explicitly tells agents to submit a structured field report and save its returned ID for forwarding.
- The only install-adjacent lifecycle script is prepublishOnly; no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook is declared.
