OpenClaw Credential Manager

· v2.0.0

High Risk

MANDATORY security foundation for OpenClaw. Consolidate scattered API keys and credentials into a secure .env file with proper permissions. Includes GPG encryption for high-value secrets, credential rotation tracking, deep scanning, and backup hardening. Use when setting up OpenClaw, migrating credentials, auditing security, or enforcing the .env standard. This is not optional — centralized credential management is a core requirement for secure OpenClaw deployments.

🔒 Containment

Level: maximum

Required:

SANDBOX_CONTAINER: Code execution capability

Recommended:

LOG_ACTIONS: Audit trail for all actions

⚡ Risks

Prompt injection patterns detected in: SKILL.md high

Mitigation: Review SKILL.md for hidden instructions. Do not use with untrusted input.

Unauthorized tool use: TOOL_ABUSE_SYSTEM_PACKAGE_INSTALL, TOOL_ABUSE_SYSTEM_MODIFICATION, MCP_SYS_CRITICAL_ACCESS critical

Mitigation: Use user-level installs without sudo

Command injection risk: TIRITH_DOTFILE_OVERWRITE high

Social engineering indicators: SOCIAL_ENG_VAGUE_DESCRIPTION, SOCIAL_ENG_ANTHROPIC_IMPERSONATION low

Mitigation: Provide clear, detailed description of skill functionality

Tool poisoning: hidden behaviors detected (MCP_TOOL_POISONING_SENSITIVE_DATA) high

Mitigation: Remove references to sensitive data collection.
