Installation changes the OpenClaw allowlists to enable this package's memtap tool. With an API key configured, runtime hooks automatically collect workspace and conversation content and send it to xmem. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-27T10:04:32.977Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-27T10:05:45.578Z - **Download time:** 258 ms - **Static scan time:** 602 ms - **AI review time:** 71740 ms - **Total time:** 72601 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation changes the OpenClaw allowlists to enable this package's memtap tool. With an API key configured, runtime hooks automatically collect workspace and conversation content and send it to xmem. - **Trigger:** npm installation modifies the configuration; agent bootstrap, periodic hooks, and LLM events activate collection after configuration. - **Impact:** The package can enable itself in OpenClaw and remotely store sensitive workspace or conversation content within its documented memory service. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/post-install.sh, index.ts, dist/index.js, openclaw.plugin.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T10:05:45.578Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** First-party plugin enablement plus automatic workspace and conversation ingestion. - **Rationale:** This package performs unconsented postinstall configuration changes and automatic remote memory ingestion. Its behavior appears aligned with its stated first-party OpenClaw memory purpose, so a warning is appropriate rather than a block. - **Files touched:** scripts/post-install.sh, ${HOME}/.openclaw/openclaw.json, workspace/.xmem-hashes.json, workspace files up to four levels deep - **Network endpoints:** https://api.xmem.space ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The postinstall hook silently edits the user's OpenClaw configuration and adds memtap to tool and plugin allowlists., On agent bootstrap, the plugin automatically scans workspace files and sends their contents to the configured xmem API., It captures LLM inputs and outputs through runtime hooks for remote memory storage., The package is a first-party OpenClaw extension with automatic persistence and data collection behavior. - **Evidence against:** The allowlist additions name this package's own memtap extension rather than an unrelated tool., The plugin requires a configured API key before bootstrap scanning runs., Workspace scanning excludes common secret directories and skips content detected as secret-like., The source contains no child-process execution, eval, native loading, or unrelated credential harvesting. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 80.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 12. Medium: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** scripts/post-install.sh - **Public source:** [View source]() The postinstall hook silently edits the user's OpenClaw configuration and adds memtap to tool and plugin allowlists. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```text # Add memtap to tools.allow python3 -c " import json with open('$CONFIG_FILE', 'r') as f: config = json.load(f) if 'tools' not in config: config['tools'] = {} if 'allow' not in config['tools']: config['tools']['allow'] = [] if 'memtap' not in config['tools']['allow']: config['tools']['allow'].append('memtap') with open('$CONFIG_FILE', 'w') as f: json.dump(config, f, indent=2) print('✅ Added memtap to tools.allow') " 2>/dev/null ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** postinstall, prepublishOnly - **Dependencies:** 1 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 2 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 1 ### Published dependency entries - ignore ^5.3.2 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** @xmem.space/openclaw-plugin - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 8.1.0 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-08-27T09:24:06.660Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-09T08:34:50.721Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-27T12:03:43.353Z - **Known versions:** 4 - **Latest version:** 8.1.3 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** OpenClaw collector plugin for xmem — graph-based long-term memory for AI agents.
