Your OpenClaw.
Our Shield.
Agent-Side Monitoring for AI Personal Assistants
Many OpenClaw deployments run with default configurations that leave them vulnerable. Thousands of instances are exposed to the internet. Malicious skills continue to appear in the ClawHub ecosystem. OpenClaw Shield defends your AI assistant automatically — no security expertise required.
Free forever. No credit card required.
Typical results. Actual times may vary.
Free account required -- takes 30 seconds. No credit card needed.
The OpenClaw Threat Landscape
OpenClaw is one of the most popular open-source AI projects in the world
Many running default configs with gateway bound to 0.0.0.0
Security audits have revealed significant vulnerabilities in default OpenClaw configurations
Malicious skills continue to appear in the ClawHub ecosystem, distributing malware
Known Attack Vectors
CVE-2026-25253
1-click RCE via Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking. Malicious gatewayUrl query parameter exfiltrates tokens, granting full shell access.
Gateway Exposure
OpenClaw defaults to 0.0.0.0:18789 with no authentication. Any internet-facing deployment exposes full filesystem and shell.
ClawHavoc Supply Chain
Reports indicate some ClawHub skills contain prompt injection vectors. Malicious skills have been observed distributing Atomic Stealer targeting macOS credentials.
Memory Poisoning
SOUL.md and MEMORY.md tampering enables time-shifted prompt injection that persists across sessions and survives restarts.
MCP Server Abuse
Model Context Protocol servers extend OpenClaw with filesystem, shell, and API access. Malicious MCP servers enable silent data exfiltration.
Token Exfiltration
Gateway tokens stored in plaintext enable full remote control. Combined with CSWSH, attackers get complete access from a single click.

Install
One command. Works on Linux, macOS, and Docker. Deploys as a lightweight monitor next to your OpenClaw instance.
Discover
Point Shield at your OpenClaw instance or let it find it automatically. Almost no setup required.
First Scan
Full security review: your settings, installed skills, known vulnerabilities, open access, and memory file integrity. Get your risk score immediately.
Auto-Fix
Critical problems fixed automatically. Gateway secured. Malicious skills removed safely. No security knowledge needed.
Continuous Monitoring
Shield runs quietly in the background watching for new threats, configuration changes, and suspicious activity around the clock.
Shield provisions via a single API call: POST /api/v1/openclaw/provision. No configuration files. No manual steps.

Defense Capabilities
4 Alarms Auto-Deployed
Install Shield and four OpenClaw-specific alarms deploy instantly: config monitor, credentials monitor, gateway monitor, skills monitor. Zero configuration.
Gateway Exposure Detection
Detects when your OpenClaw gateway is exposed to the internet on 0.0.0.0 without authentication. Alert fires immediately on detection.
CVE Version Checking
Checks your OpenClaw version against a known vulnerability list. Flags affected versions immediately, including critical CVEs like CVE-2026-25253.
Configuration Health Audit
Reviews your OpenClaw setup for common security misconfigurations: gateway binding, authentication settings, sandbox config. Tells you what to fix.
Skill Supply Chain Scanning
Static analysis of installed ClawHub skills via hash matching against a known malicious database. Catches bad actors before they execute.
Pattern-Based Prompt Injection
Regex scanning for prompt injection attempts: role overrides, system prompt extraction, encoding tricks. Runs on every skill and content read.
Memory File Monitoring
Filesystem monitoring of SOUL.md and MEMORY.md with hash comparison. Detects tampering in real time and alerts immediately.
Security Score + Traffic Light
Risk score 0-100 calculated from all active findings. Traffic light CLI status: green (safe), yellow (advisory), red (active threat).
AI-Powered Prompt Injection
Pattern-based scanning with ML model on the roadmap. Catches sophisticated evasion techniques that static regex cannot. Runs on every context load.
Auto-Remediation Engine
Detected threats trigger automatic responses: malicious skills quarantined with forensic evidence, gateway hardened, memory files restored from backup.
Full Attacker Capture
When a threat is detected, Shield captures the full context: prompts sent, request headers, payload content. Complete forensic record for investigation.
All Alert Channels
Route alerts to Slack, email, Telegram, or webhook. Free tier supports community alerts only. Solo and Team unlock all channels.
Team Management (RBAC)
Invite team members, assign roles, and share dashboards across your organization. Manage all OpenClaw instances from a single shared view.
Egress Traffic Monitoring
Network traffic analysis to detect C2 callbacks and data exfiltration from compromised skills or MCP servers.
Red Team Simulation
Adversarial simulation that probes your OpenClaw instances using known attack patterns. Finds gaps before real attackers do.
REST API + MCP Server
Full REST API with granular scopes for programmatic access. MCP server for AI agent integration with Claude, Cursor, and other clients.
Automated Defense vs DIY Security
Security guides and checklists are a starting point. But manual approaches break down at 2 AM when a malicious skill slips through, or when a new vulnerability drops and you are asleep. Shield provides the same protections -- automated, always-on, and zero-config.
Skill supply chain vetting
Manually review each skill's code before installing
Automatic scanning against known malicious signatures and suspicious patterns -- no manual review needed
Prompt injection defense
Write and maintain custom test scripts
Built-in scanning for hidden instruction hijacking attempts (AI-powered model on the roadmap)
Gateway security
Manually check your network config and add a password
Continuous monitoring for exposed gateways with automatic lockdown on paid tier
CVE response
Follow security forums and manually patch when you remember
Automatic version checks with immediate alerts when a known vulnerability affects your installation
Memory file integrity
Periodically check files yourself and hope you catch changes in time
Always-on file monitoring with automatic restore from backup on paid tier
Malicious skill response
Manually delete suspicious files and check nothing spread
Automatic quarantine with evidence preserved for investigation on paid tier
Manual security requires constant vigilance, deep expertise, and the discipline to never miss an update. Shield runs 24/7 so you do not have to.
Traffic Light Dashboard
Security status at a glance. No dashboards to learn, no alerts to triage, no logs to parse. Three colors tell you everything you need to know.
GREEN
All clear. Your OpenClaw instance is secure, up to date, and properly configured. No action required.
YELLOW
Advisory. A non-critical issue was detected and auto-remediated, or a manual update is recommended. Review when convenient.
RED
Active threat detected. Shield responds automatically: quarantine, gateway hardening. Check the dashboard for details and recommended next steps.
