Agent Security Framework (ASF) - Executive Summary

📋 System Reviewed

System: OpenClaw Autonomous AI Agent Platform

Components: Clawdbot, Moltbot, Open-Claw Gateway, Mission Control

Review Date: March 6, 2026

Review Time: UTC

Assessment Type: Comprehensive Security Audit

Assessor: ASF Security Team

🔍 What We Scanned & Checked

We conducted a comprehensive security assessment of the OpenClaw platform:

1.1 YARA Threat Detection Scan

Ran automated malware pattern scanning across all agent skills and Docker containers.

1.2 Docker Security Audit

Reviewed container configurations for isolation, capabilities, and network policies.

1.3 Credential Exposure Scan

Scanned all code repositories for hardcoded API keys, tokens, and secrets.

1.4 Cross-Platform Fake Agent Detection

Checked Discord, Slack, Telegram, and Moltbook for impersonator accounts.

1.5 Trust Framework Validation

Verified trust scoring thresholds and guardrail effectiveness.

⚠️ Security Vulnerabilities Found

The following issues were identified and require immediate attention:

2.1 Credential Exposure Risk

Found hardcoded API keys and tokens in legacy configuration files.

2.2 Weak Docker Isolation

Some containers running with excessive capabilities (CAP_SYS_ADMIN).

2.3 Unrestricted CORS Origins

Wildcard (*) allowed in Cross-Origin resource sharing.

2.4 Rate Limiting Gaps

Authentication endpoints lacked brute-force protection.

2.5 Public Instance Exposure

17,500+ OpenClaw instances publicly accessible without proper auth.

🛡️ How We're Fixing These Issues

Comprehensive remediation plan implemented:

3.1 Credential Vault Implementation

All API keys moved to environment variables + GitHub Secrets. Zero hardcoded credentials.

3.2 Docker Hardening

cap_drop: ALL, read-only rootfs, no privileged mode, network isolation.

3.3 CORS Restriction

Whitelist only: https://scrumai.org, https://jeffsutherland.com

3.4 Rate Limiting

10 max attempts per minute, 5-minute lockout after failures.

3.5 Private Networking

Tailscale VPN required for agent communications. No public exposure.
