## 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:** 1.1.78
- **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 forward an existing local gateway token to an unrestricted operator-selected URL. This establishes conditional credential exposure, without proving malicious intent.

## Latest scan

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The OpenClaw command can forward an existing local gateway token to an unrestricted operator-selected URL. This establishes conditional credential exposure, without proving malicious intent.

- **Trigger:** Run the OpenClaw CLI command with an overridden gateway URL and no replacement token while a local gateway token exists.

- **Impact:** An unintended gateway operator could receive the existing OpenClaw authentication token.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index-D4EHLDHF.mjs, dist/runOpenClaw-D3z1M5Ql.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-04T22:53:42.513Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The integration independently selects the destination and local credential, then includes that credential in a WebSocket authentication request.

- **Rationale:** Source confirms conditional forwarding of an existing service credential to an unrestricted configurable destination, warranting a warning under the credential forwarding policy. No inspected behavior establishes covert theft or a block-eligible malicious installation chain.

- **Files touched:** .openclaw/openclaw.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The explicit OpenClaw CLI command loads the gateway integration and accepts a gateway URL override., The integration reads an existing gateway authentication token from local OpenClaw configuration., Gateway URL overrides and local token fallback are selected independently, without binding the token to its original destination., The integration connects to the selected URL and sends the token in its WebSocket authentication request.

- **Evidence against:** The inspected postinstall hook unpacks bundled tools into the package directory., The credential forwarding requires the OpenClaw runtime command; no covert package-controlled recipient was identified., The four indicated agent integration locations read session data rather than mutate agent configuration.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to claudeputer@1.1.78.

- Review the evidence and your use of claudeputer@1.1.78 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.
