- **๐ก Live Security Advisories** - Automated NVD CVE polling and community threat intelligence
- **๐ Security Audits** - Self-check scripts to detect prompt injection markers and vulnerabilities
- **๐ Checksum Verification** - SHA256 checksums for all skill artifacts
- **Health Checks** - Automated updates and integrity verification for all installed skills
---
## ๐ Quick Start
### For AI Agents
```bash
# Fetch and install the ClawSec security suite
curl -sL https://clawsec.prompt.security/releases/latest/download/SKILL.md
```
The skill file contains deployment instructions. Your agent will:
1. Detect its agent family (OpenClaw/MoltBot/ClawdBot or other)
2. Install appropriate skills from the catalog
3. Verify integrity using checksums
4. Set up cron update checks
### For Humans
Copy this instruction to your AI agent:
> Read https://clawsec.prompt.security/releases/latest/download/SKILL.md and follow the instructions to install the protection skill suite.
### Shell and OS Notes
ClawSec scripts are split between:
- Cross-platform Node/Python tooling (`npm run build`, hook/setup `.mjs`, `utils/*.py`)
- POSIX shell workflows (`*.sh`, most manual install snippets)
For Linux/macOS (`bash`/`zsh`):
- Use unquoted or double-quoted home vars: `export INSTALL_ROOT="$HOME/.openclaw/skills"`
- Do **not** single-quote expandable vars (for example, avoid `'$HOME/.openclaw/skills'`)
For Windows (PowerShell):
- Prefer explicit path building:
- `$env:INSTALL_ROOT = Join-Path $HOME ".openclaw\\skills"`
- `node "$env:INSTALL_ROOT\\clawsec-suite\\scripts\\setup_advisory_hook.mjs"`
- POSIX `.sh` scripts require WSL or Git Bash.
Troubleshooting: if you see directories such as `~/.openclaw/workspace/$HOME/...`, a home variable was passed literally. Re-run using an absolute path or an unquoted home expression.

## ๐ก Security Advisory Feed
ClawSec maintains a continuously updated security advisory feed, automatically populated from NIST's National Vulnerability Database (NVD).
### Feed URL
```bash
# Fetch latest advisories
curl -s https://clawsec.prompt.security/advisories/feed.json | jq '.advisories[] | select(.severity == "critical" or .severity == "high")'
```
### Monitored Keywords
The feed polls CVEs related to:
- **OpenClaw Platform**: `OpenClaw`, `clawdbot`, `Moltbot`
- **NanoClaw Platform**: `NanoClaw`, `WhatsApp-bot`, `baileys`
- Prompt injection patterns
- Agent security vulnerabilities
### Advisory Schema
**NVD CVE Advisory:**
```json

## ๐ CI/CD Pipelines
ClawSec uses automated pipelines for continuous security updates and skill distribution.
### Automated Workflows
| Workflow | Trigger | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| **poll-nvd-cves.yml** | Daily cron (06:00 UTC) | Polls NVD for new CVEs, updates feed |
| **community-advisory.yml** | Issue labeled `advisory-approved` | Processes community reports into advisories |
| **skill-release.yml** | `-v*.*.*` tags | Packages individual skills with checksums to GitHub Releases |
| **deploy-pages.yml** | Push to main | Builds and deploys the web interface to GitHub Pages |
### Skill Release Pipeline
When a skill is tagged (e.g., `soul-guardian-v1.0.0`), the pipeline:
1. **Validates** - Checks `skill.json` version matches tag
2. **Enforces key consistency** - Verifies pinned release key references are consistent across repo PEMs and `skills/clawsec-suite/SKILL.md`
3. **Generates Checksums** - Creates `checksums.json` with SHA256 hashes for all SBOM files
4. **Signs + verifies** - Signs `checksums.json` and validates the generated `signing-public.pem` fingerprint against canonical repo key material
5. **Releases** - Publishes to GitHub Releases with all artifacts
6. **Supersedes Old Releases** - Marks older versions (same major) as pre-releases
7. **Triggers Pages Update** - Refreshes the skills catalog on the website
### Signing Key Consistency Guardrails
To prevent supply-chain drift, CI now fails fast when signing key references diverge.
Guardrail script:
- `scripts/ci/verify_signing_key_consistency.sh`
What it checks:
- `skills/clawsec-suite/SKILL.md` inline public key fingerprint matches `RELEASE_PUBKEY_SHA256`
- Canonical PEM files all match the same fingerprint:
- `clawsec-signing-public.pem`
- `advisories/feed-signing-public.pem`
- `skills/clawsec-suite/advisories/feed-signing-public.pem`
- Generated public key in workflows matches canonical key:
- `release-assets/signing-public.pem` (release workflow)
- `public/signing-public.pem` (pages workflow)
Where enforced:
- `.github/workflows/skill-release.yml`
- `.github/workflows/deploy-pages.yml`
### Release Versioning & Superseding
ClawSec follows [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/). When a new version is released:
| Scenario | Behavior |
|----------|----------|
| New patch/minor (e.g., 1.0.1, 1.1.0) | Previous releases with same major version are **deleted** |
| New major (e.g., 2.0.0) | Previous major version (1.x.x) remains for backwards compatibility |
**Why do old releases disappear?**
When you release `skill-v0.0.2`, the previous `skill-v0.0.1` release is automatically deleted to keep the releases page clean. Only the latest version within each major version is retained.
- **Git tags are preserved** - You can always recreate a release from an existing tag if needed
- **Major versions coexist** - Both `skill-v1.x.x` and `skill-v2.x.x` latest releases remain available for backwards compatibility
### Release Artifacts
Each skill release includes:
- `checksums.json` - SHA256 hashes for integrity verification
- `skill.json` - Skill metadata
- `SKILL.md` - Main skill documentation
- Additional files from SBOM (scripts, configs, etc.)
### Signing Operations Documentation
For feed/release signing rollout and operations guidance:
- [`docs/SECURITY-SIGNING.md`](docs/SECURITY-SIGNING.md) - key generation, GitHub secrets, rotation/revocation, incident response
- [`docs/MIGRATION-SIGNED-FEED.md`](docs/MIGRATION-SIGNED-FEED.md) - phased migration from unsigned feed, enforcement gates, rollback plan

## ๐ ๏ธ Offline Tools
ClawSec includes Python utilities for local skill development and validation.
### Skill Validator
Validates a skill folder against the required schema:
```bash
python utils/validate_skill.py skills/clawsec-feed
```
Checks:
- `skill.json` exists and is valid JSON
- Required fields present (name, version, description, author, license)
- SBOM files exist and are readable
- OpenClaw metadata is properly structured
### Skill Checksums Generator
Generates `checksums.json` with SHA256 hashes for a skill:
```bash
python utils/package_skill.py skills/clawsec-feed ./dist
```
Outputs:
- `checksums.json` - SHA256 hashes for verification
