Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

MCP, MCP server

clawops

MCP-native infrastructure ops for OpenClaw, with read-only mode, destructive-action confirmation, and audit logs built in.

Compatibility: Not stated.

Grade D

Two or more Medium findings, or a High. Only try it in a sandbox.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.

INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT Medium

    Fetches a script from the network and runs it (a pipe to a shell, or an install hook with a URL).

    src/harden/modules/tailscale.ts, line 192 const r = await exec('curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh')

  • SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL Medium

    Mentions a credential store path (~/.ssh, id_rsa, .npmrc, .aws/credentials, credentials.json, .netrc).

    src/cli/commands/setup.ts, line 196 message: `SSH private key file: (the key file on your computer used to log in - e.g. ~/.ssh/id_ed25519)`,

Any High, or two or more Medium findings, give D. One Medium gives C. Low findings or a security Note give B. Each code names a finding behind the letter.

If you think this grade is wrong, email [email protected] with the entry link and your evidence. We aim to acknowledge within two working days and decide within seven. If we confirm an error, we aim to correct it within 24 hours of confirming it. These are aims, not guarantees.

Grades are a hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, on the date checked, not a security audit or a guarantee. The free directory grades are automated. Before release, a PlugVet engineer reviews every paid report and any grade we hold back, including all F grades, against the source code and the evidence we quote.

What was checked

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.

  • Permissions

    Concern

    can delete files.

    PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES

    src/hostagent/install.ts, line 180

    "for(const d of ['lib','spec'])fs.rmSync(p.join(root,d+'.new'),{recursive:true,force:true});",

    src/hostagent/install.ts, line 185

    "for(const d of ['lib','spec']){fs.rmSync(p.join(root,d),{recursive:true,force:true});",

    .claude/rules/ssh.md, line 9

    1. **Never shell out to /usr/bin/ssh:** All SSH operations use the `ssh2` npm library directly. No `child_process.exec('ssh ...')` or similar.

  • Install and update

    Serious

    install fetches a script from the network.

    INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT

    docs/spikes/SP-16-container-egress.md, line 9

    den/modules/tailscale.ts` installs it (`curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh`). That installed **tailscaled 1.104.1*

    src/harden/modules/tailscale.ts, line 192

    const r = await exec('curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh')

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach a host that is not written as a fixed address. can reach local-tailscaled.sock. The description does not name that host. can reach nodejs.org. The description does not name that host. can reach download.docker.com. The description does not name that host. can reach login.microsoftonline.com. The description does not name that host. can reach storage.googleapis.com. The description does not name that host.
