ClawFix collects diagnostic evidence from OpenClaw installations and can return repair scripts. Security and privacy failures in this project can therefore have real consequences.
Security fixes target the latest published ClawFix release and the current main branch. Upgrade to the latest release before reporting a problem that may already be fixed.
Do not open a public issue for vulnerabilities, exposed credentials, unredacted diagnostic payloads, or repair scripts that could damage an installation.
Use one of these private channels:
- Open a private vulnerability report through GitHub Security Advisories for
arcabotai/clawfix. - Email
arca@arcabot.aiwith the subjectClawFix security report.
Include:
- affected ClawFix version or commit
- affected command or endpoint
- impact and reproduction steps
- a minimal redacted payload or test fixture when possible
- whether the issue has been disclosed elsewhere
Never send real API keys, tokens, private chat logs, or an unredacted openclaw.json file.
We will acknowledge a valid report, investigate it privately, and coordinate disclosure after a fix is available. We do not promise a fixed response timeline, but credential exposure and destructive repair paths take priority.
ClawFix is designed around these rules:
- diagnostics require informed consent before upload
- known secrets and home paths are redacted before transmission
--dry-runand--jsonremain local-only- AI output is advisory and never contributes executable shell
- executable repairs come from reviewed deterministic snippets
- generated repair scripts must pass syntax and policy validation
- destructive actions must not run automatically
Changes that weaken one of these boundaries require an explicit security rationale, regression coverage, and maintainer review.
