Security Recommendations for openclaw-setup

Audit external network connections
openclaw-setup connects to external endpoints. Verify every outbound connection goes to a trusted destination. Unauthorized callbacks are a primary indicator of ClawHavoc malware and data exfiltration. ClawSecure's proprietary engine monitors for known malicious endpoints including C2 infrastructure.
Resolve policy violations
openclaw-setup trips ClawSecure policy checks. Review each flagged pattern against your security policy and remediate or document an accepted exception before production use.
Add a config.json permissions manifest
A config.json file declares what an agent component can access: file system, network, shell execution and more. Without it, users have no visibility into what the component can do before installing. This is the single most impactful security improvement for any AI agent skill.
Eliminate dynamic code execution
openclaw-setup evaluates code at runtime (for example eval or dynamic exec). Remove dynamic evaluation of untrusted input, and where code generation is unavoidable, sandbox it and validate every input.
