SClawHub

Product Introduction

1. Definition: SClawHub is an open-source security scanner (technical category: AI agent security auditing) specifically designed for ClawHub skills. It analyzes third-party skills built for OpenClaw agents, which operate with full system access permissions.
2. Core Value Proposition: SClawHub exists to mitigate critical risks posed by unvetted OpenClaw skills, preventing data breaches, API key theft, and malware infections through automated vulnerability scanning and trust scoring.

Main Features

1. Skill Security Scanning:
   • How it works: Combines static code analysis via Semgrep with Claude AI for behavioral review. Scans for:
     • Malware signatures
     • Credential/API key exfiltration attempts
     • Unauthorized network calls
     • Unsafe code execution patterns
   • Output: Generates machine-readable reports flagging specific vulnerabilities.
2. Trust Score System:
   • Quantifies risk through a 0-100 scoring algorithm:
     • 95-100 (Safe): Minimal risks, approved for installation
     • 65-94 (Medium): Requires manual code review
     • 0-64 (Critical): Blocks high-risk skills automatically
   • Scores reflect severity of detected issues (e.g., credential theft = automatic critical rating).
3. Transparent Workflow Integration:
   • Uses identical skill URLs as ClawHub (replace clawhub.ai with sclawhub.com) for frictionless scanning.
   • Chrome Extension enables one-click security reports during skill discovery.

Problems Solved

1. Pain Point: OpenClaw’s architecture grants skills unrestricted system access, enabling a single malicious skill to compromise user data, steal API keys, or execute harmful code.
2. Target Audience:
   • OpenClaw Power Users: Developers/AI engineers installing third-party skills
   • Enterprise Teams: Organizations using ClawHub agents in workflows with sensitive data
   • Security Auditors: Professionals vetting AI agent ecosystems
3. Use Cases:
   • Pre-installation screening of community-developed skills
   • Continuous monitoring of skill updates for new vulnerabilities
   • Compliance checks for skills handling financial/confidential data

Unique Advantages

1. Differentiation: Unlike generic security tools, SClawHub specializes in OpenClaw’s execution environment, detecting agent-specific threats (e.g., skill-to-skill attack vectors) ignored by conventional scanners.
2. Key Innovation: Hybrid analysis (Semgrep + Claude AI) identifies both code-level exploits and behavioral risks (e.g., disguised data exfiltration), while open-source methodology enables community verification of results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is SClawHub officially affiliated with ClawHub?
   No, SClawHub operates independently as a community-driven security layer for ClawHub skills, with no corporate ties to ClawHub.ai or OpenClaw.
2. How accurate is the SClawHub trust score?
   Scores derive from deterministic rules (e.g., credential access = critical) and AI behavioral analysis, with all detection logic publicly auditable via GitHub.
3. Can SClawHub detect zero-day exploits in skills?
   Yes, Claude AI analyzes anomalous code patterns beyond signature-based detection, identifying novel attack vectors like obfuscated payloads.
4. Does the Chrome extension slow down skill browsing?
   No, extension-generated reports use pre-scanned data from SClawHub’s database, enabling instant security overlays.
5. Why open-source the scanner?
   Transparency allows security experts to verify methodology, contribute detection rules, and self-host scans for proprietary skills.
