agenticros@0.7.22
AgenticROS - agentic AI for ROS-powered robots. Single CLI to launch real-robot or simulated demos, manage configuration, and inspect status.
AI Security Review
scanned 27d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source creates a real conditional token-exposure path to an unrestricted configuration-selected destination. It is not automatic or covert, so a warning rather than a publication block is appropriate.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
The user runs runtime/scripts/agenticros-proxy.cjs and makes a request to its loopback listener.
Impact
If the configured gateway URL is changed to an untrusted host, the gateway token could be disclosed to that host.
Mechanism
The script reads the gateway token and URL from OpenClaw configuration, adds the token as an Authorization header, and issues an HTTP request to that URL.
AI rationale
The source creates a real conditional token-exposure path to an unrestricted configuration-selected destination. It is not automatic or covert, so a warning rather than a publication block is appropriate.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 89.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The proxy reads the OpenClaw gateway token and accepts a gateway URL from its configuration.
- The proxy places that token in an Authorization header and sends the request to the configured URL.
- The proxy is an explicitly invoked local script, not an npm install hook.
- The init flow asks before installing the OpenClaw plugin.
Evidence against
- No automatic install lifecycle hook was found in the inspected package manifest.
- The forwarding path is intended for a local authenticated gateway proxy and limits incoming paths to AgenticROS routes.
