Threat model

Why this is now an operational issue

Most OpenClaw security incidents happen due to basic configuration issues: exposed bindings, weak secrets, permissive runtime access, and unreviewed skill installation.
The first priority to remove these security gaps to enhance security of your agent.

Exposure moves fast

Once the agent's gateway is reachable from the public internet, even a personal agent is exposed to the same risk as larger targets.

Patching is only one control

Configuration hygiene matters too. Authentication, runtime boundaries, permissions also need to be secured.

Skills can be a double edge sword

Every third-party skill extends trust. Source control, approval rules, and protection of long-lived files need to be secured

What you receive

A security toolkit that secures your agent

Each package combines automated scripted security configuration, help and guidance, and an evidence documentation package for agent's risk management.

Script

Security configuration script

Scripted configration for the security gaps in default agents deployments.

Guide

Quick Start and Installation Sheet

Quick setup guidance and commands that helps you run the m78armor script.

Sheet

FAQ

Usage notes and most common questions answered in simple language.

Inventory

Working files

Only in the premium package: structured files for baseline review, deployment inventory, and operator tracking.

Evidence

Evidence documents

Only in the premium package: documentation when you need a cleaner audit trail and handoff record.

Workflow

How m78armor adds value on a recurring basis

m78armor allows you to: inspect what is exposed, tighten what matters, and retain enough evidence to explain the remediation path over the entire life cycle of your agent.

1

Inspect

Do a gaps audit anytime. Get your updated on the security exposure, runtime, boundary, and skill-control issues quickly.

2

Harden

Turn the security gaps into a quick remediation list instead of reverse-engineering guidance from scattered posts.

3

Document

When you want to know what changed, the evidence layer gives the answers in a structured manner.

Control coverage

Top security checks that tend to matter most

Following are the configuration gaps that often cause security breachers in self-hosted OpenClaw environments.

Gateway exposureWhether the gateway is still bound to 0.0.0.0 on a public-facing interface.
AuthenticationIs the authentication weak or is it actually enforced.
CVE statusWhether the agent version has a known vulnerability exposure.
Control plane scopeWhether the control surface is broader than the deployment really needs.
Secret readabilityWhether configuration files and secrets are exposed to the wrong runtime identity.
Proxy boundariesWhether ports, reverse proxy rules, and VPN configurations are weak.
Skill approvalWhether new or unknown "skills" installation is controlled or effectively open.
Long-lived filesWhether SOUL.md and MEMORY.md are treated as protected assets.
Runtime identityWhether least privilege and runtime separation are handled correctly.
LoggingWhether the deployment keeps enough signal to reconstruct events later.
Buyer fit

Who should use it — and who should not

Good fit

  • Solo self-hosters and small technical teams
  • VPS, local, Aliyun, and Tencent Cloud deployments
  • Individuals who can execute commands but do not want to reverse-engineer guidance from scattered posts
  • Agent owners who need a practical and automated security configuration, not a platform subscription

Not the right fit

  • Large enterprise platform teams with established internal tooling
  • Managed hosting customers who do not control the runtime boundary
  • Procurement-led agent owners expecting vendor liability transfer
  • Anyone looking for a one-click promise that everything is safe

Gate

Skill Approval Gate

A structured approval note for skill installation, source checks, and runtime boundary sign-off.

One-pager

Security Note

A concise handoff summary for customers, partners, or internal stakeholders who need the short version.

Report

Audit Evidence Report

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I still need hardening after upgrading OpenClaw?

Yes. Patching only removes known vulnerabilities.
It does not fix configuration gaps, public exposure, oversized permissions, weak authentication, or poor skill controls.

Is it safe to run a third-party script?

M78Armor runs locally. It does not upload configuration files, logs, or secrets.
m78armor script is readable and ships with SHA-256 verification.

What is the real difference between the two paid packages?

The starter package helps agent owners secure their OpenClaw instance quick-n-easy.
The evidence pack adds the documentation layer agent owners usually end up building later, manually by hand which can be very time consuming during emergencies when someone a clear record is needed.

Why is the checklist free?

Because the manual security configuration settings still removes and fixes security gaps. The free checklist helps agent owners define the problem before they decide whether speed and documentation are worth paying for.

Will this guarantee a secure deployment?

No. It improves the security configuration process. It does not replace testing, disciplined change control, life cycle security or responsibility for your own environment.
