## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 30 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 1.1.76
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The OpenClaw command can expose an existing local gateway token to an operator-configured gateway. No confirmed malicious attack was established.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The OpenClaw command can expose an existing local gateway token to an operator-configured gateway. No confirmed malicious attack was established.

- **Trigger:** Run the openclaw command with a custom gateway URL while allowing authentication to fall back to the local gateway token.

- **Impact:** A substituted gateway can receive a credential intended for the existing gateway.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/runOpenClaw-CCPbYrpr.mjs, dist/index-DB6EasoK.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T02:43:10.223Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** URL and token selection are independent; the locally read token is included in the authentication frame sent to the selected WebSocket destination.

- **Rationale:** Source supports a warning because an existing gateway credential can be forwarded to an unrestricted custom destination through the active CLI path. Explicit command activation and the absence of a demonstrated covert recipient do not support blocking as malware.

- **Files touched:** openclaw.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The OpenClaw client reads an existing gateway authentication token from local configuration., Gateway URL selection accepts a CLI option or environment variable independently of the fallback local token, without binding that token to its original gateway., The client places the token in a connection frame and sends it over a WebSocket to the selected gateway., The explicit openclaw CLI command activates this client and accepts separate gateway URL and token options.

- **Evidence against:** The behavior is activated through an explicit CLI command; no covert default export or malware intent was established., The inspected postinstall script extracts bundled tools into the package tools directory., The four flagged agent configuration locations read Claude or Codex session records rather than modifying agent controls.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to claudeputer@1.1.76.

- Review the evidence and your use of claudeputer@1.1.76 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
