Clawsec Clawhub Checker

ClawSec ClawHub Checker

Adds a reputation gate on top of the clawsec-suite guarded installer.

Vercel Skills Installation

Install with the Vercel Skills CLI for this harness:

bashCopy code
npx skills add prompt-security/clawsec --skill clawsec-clawhub-checker -a openclaw -y

Operational Notes

• Required runtime: node, clawhub, openclaw
• Depends on: installed clawsec-suite
• Side effects: none on other skills; this package does not rewrite installed suite files
• Advisory-hook wiring is optional and manual in this release
• Network behavior: reputation checks call ClawHub inspect/search endpoints
• Trust model: scores are heuristic and confirmation-gated

What It Does

1. Reads skill metadata from ClawHub (inspect --json)
2. Evaluates scanner status (including VirusTotal summary when present)
3. Applies additional reputation heuristics (age, updates, author history, downloads)
4. Requires explicit --confirm-reputation when score is below threshold

Installation

Install after clawsec-suite:

bashCopy code
npx clawhub@latest install clawsec-suite
npx clawhub@latest install clawsec-clawhub-checker

Optional preflight check (validates local paths and prints recommended command):

bashCopy code
node ~/.openclaw/skills/clawsec-clawhub-checker/scripts/setup_reputation_hook.mjs

Release Artifact Verification

For standalone installs, verify the signed release manifest before trusting SKILL.md, skill.json, or the archive. The skill.json file is the package metadata/SBOM source, and the release pipeline signs checksums.json with the ClawSec release key.

bashCopy code
set -euo pipefail

Usage

Run the enhanced installer directly from this skill:

bashCopy code
node ~/.openclaw/skills/clawsec-clawhub-checker/scripts/enhanced_guarded_install.mjs \
  --skill some-skill \
  --version 1.0.0

If a skill is below threshold, rerun only with explicit approval:

bashCopy code
node ~/.openclaw/skills/clawsec-clawhub-checker/scripts/enhanced_guarded_install.mjs \
  --skill some-skill \
  --version 1.0.0 \
  --confirm-reputation

Optional Advisory-Hook Wiring (Manual)

This release does not auto-patch clawsec-suite hook files.
If you rely on advisory alerts that include reputationWarning / reputationWarnings, wire the checker module manually:

• Source module: ~/.openclaw/skills/clawsec-clawhub-checker/hooks/clawsec-advisory-guardian/lib/reputation.mjs
• Target hook file: ~/.openclaw/skills/clawsec-suite/hooks/clawsec-advisory-guardian/handler.ts

Treat that wiring as a deliberate local customization and review it before enabling.

Exit Codes

• 0 safe to install
• 42 advisory confirmation required (from clawsec-suite)
• 43 reputation confirmation required
• 1 error

Configuration

Environment variables:

• CLAWHUB_REPUTATION_THRESHOLD - Minimum score (0-100, default: 70)

Safety Notes

• This is defense-in-depth, not a replacement for advisory matching
• Scanner outputs can produce false positives and false negatives
• Always review skill code before overriding warnings

Development

Key files:

• scripts/enhanced_guarded_install.mjs
• scripts/check_clawhub_reputation.mjs
• scripts/setup_reputation_hook.mjs
• hooks/clawsec-advisory-guardian/lib/reputation.mjs
