OpenClaw Vault Pro

Everything in openclaw-vault (free) plus automated countermeasures.

Free version detects threats. Pro version subverts, quarantines, and defends.

Detection Commands (also in free)

Full Credential Audit

Comprehensive credential exposure audit: permission checks, shell history, git config, config file scanning, log file scanning, gitignore coverage, and staleness detection.

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/vault.py audit --workspace /path/to/workspace

Exposure Check

Detect credential exposure vectors: misconfigured permissions, public directory exposure, git history risks, Docker credential embedding, shell alias leaks, and URL query parameter credentials in code.

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/vault.py exposure --workspace /path/to/workspace

Credential Inventory

Build a structured inventory of all credential files in the workspace. Categorizes by type (API key, database URI, token, certificate, SSH key, password), tracks age, and flags stale or exposed credentials.

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/vault.py inventory --workspace /path/to/workspace

Quick Status

One-line summary: credential count, exposure count, staleness warnings.

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/vault.py status --workspace /path/to/workspace

Pro Countermeasures

Fix Permissions

Auto-fix file permissions on all credential files. Sets .env files and other credential files to owner-readable only (chmod 600 on Unix, restricted ACLs via icacls on Windows).

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/vault.py fix-permissions --workspace /path/to/workspace

Quarantine

Move an exposed credential file to .quarantine/vault/ with metadata recording the original location and reason. The file is removed from its original location to prevent further exposure.

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/vault.py quarantine <file> --workspace /path/to/workspace

Unquarantine

Restore a previously quarantined credential file to its original location. Matches by original path or quarantine file name.

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/vault.py unquarantine <file> --workspace /path/to/workspace

Rotation Check

Check credential file ages and generate a rotation schedule. Files exceeding the max-age threshold are flagged as overdue. Files approaching the threshold are flagged as approaching. Default threshold is 90 days.

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/vault.py rotate-check --workspace /path/to/workspace
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/vault.py rotate-check --max-age 60 --workspace /path/to/workspace

Git Guard

Scan git history for accidentally committed credentials. Uses git log --diff-filter=A to find credential files that were added (and possibly later removed). Checks whether credentials are still in HEAD or only in history. Provides remediation guidance.

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/vault.py gitguard --workspace /path/to/workspace

Protect (Automated Sweep)

Full automated protection sweep in one command: audit all credentials, check exposure vectors, fix permissions, quarantine high-risk exposed files, check rotation schedule, and produce a comprehensive report. Recommended for session startup.

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/vault.py protect --workspace /path/to/workspace
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/vault.py protect --max-age 60 --workspace /path/to/workspace

Recommended Integration

Session Startup Hook (Claude Code)

{
  "hooks": {
    "SessionStart": [
      {
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "python3 scripts/vault.py protect",
            "timeout": 30
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Heartbeat (OpenClaw)

Add to HEARTBEAT.md for periodic credential protection:

- Run credential protection sweep (python3 {skill:openclaw-vault-pro}/scripts/vault.py protect)

Workspace Auto-Detection

If --workspace is omitted, the script tries:

1. OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE environment variable
2. Current directory (if AGENTS.md exists)
3. ~/.openclaw/workspace (default)

What It Checks

Category	Details
Permissions	.env files with world-readable or group-readable permissions
Shell History	Credentials in .bash_history, .zsh_history, .python_history, etc.
Git Config	Credentials embedded in git remote URLs, plaintext credential helpers
Config Files	Hardcoded secrets in JSON, YAML, TOML, INI config files
Log Files	Credentials accidentally logged in .log files
Gitignore	Missing patterns for .env, *.pem, *.key, credentials.json, etc.
Staleness	Credential files older than threshold that may need rotation
Public Dirs	Credential files in public/, static/, www/, dist/, build/
Git History	Credential files in git repos that may be committed
Docker	Secrets hardcoded in Dockerfile and docker-compose configs
Shell RC	Credentials in .bashrc, .zshrc, .profile aliases
URL Params	API keys/tokens passed in URL query strings in code

Exit Codes

• 0 -- Clean, no issues
• 1 -- Warnings detected (review needed)
• 2 -- Critical exposure detected (action needed)

No External Dependencies

Python standard library only. No pip install. No network calls. Everything runs locally.

Cross-Platform

Works with OpenClaw, Claude Code, Cursor, and any tool using the Agent Skills specification.
