# ClawScan - High-Performance Rust Vulnerability Scanner
> 🦀 **Built with Test-Driven Development** | 45/45 tests passing ✅
Security scanner for OpenClaw/Moltbot/Clawdbot AI agent platforms, testing prompt injection, supply chain, and RAG poisoning vulnerabilities.
## Quick Start
```bash
# Scan single target
clawscan example.com
# Scan multiple targets with custom concurrency
clawscan target1.com target2.com:9999 192.168.1.100 --concurrency 200
# Generate JSON report
clawscan target.com --json report.json
# Quiet mode (only show exploited vulnerabilities)
clawscan target.com --quiet
```

## Attack Modules
### 1. CVE-2026-25253: WebSocket CSWSH (CRITICAL)
- Tests multiple malicious origins
- Captures device tokens and granted scopes
**Remediation**:
- Upgrade to OpenClaw v2026.1.29+
- Implement Origin header validation
- Rotate all exposed device tokens
### 2. CVE-2026-22708: Indirect Prompt Injection (HIGH)
Malicious web content exploitation
- CSS-hidden instructions
- System instruction mimicry
- GitHub README poisoning
**Remediation**:
- Sanitize input from external sources
- Implement content security policies
- Add web fetch filtering
### 3. CVE-2026-25157: OS Command Injection (CRITICAL)
Path traversal in `sshNodeCommand`
- Arbitrary OS command execution
- File system access bypass
**Remediation**:
- Input validation for project paths
- Restrict command execution contexts
### 4. Prompt Injection (HIGH)
5 high-signal techniques to detect vulnerability:
- DAN jailbreak - Most effective bypass
- Base64 encoding - Evades content filters
- System prompt extraction - Configuration leakage
- Token manipulation - ChatML boundary exploitation
- Multi-stage injection - Chained command execution
**NOTE**: ClawScan tests if prompt injection is *possible*, not all variants. For comprehensive prompt red-teaming, use specialized tools like **promptfoo** or **garak**.
**Remediation**:
- Implement prompt isolation with instruction boundaries
- Add output filtering for sensitive data
- Accept defense-in-depth (perfect defense impossible)
### 5. RAG/Memory Poisoning (HIGH)
- MEMORY.md injection attacks
- Vector database contamination
- Semantic search manipulation
**Remediation**:
- Validate memory file contents
- Restrict memory write access
- Implement embedding integrity checks
### 6. ClawHub Supply Chain (CRITICAL)
341 malicious skills detected (ClawHavoc campaign)
- Atomic Stealer (AMOS) distribution
- ClickFix social engineering
- npm postinstall hooks
**Remediation**:
- Enable skill sandboxing
- Implement signature verification
- Use allowlist for skill installation
### 7. MCP Tool Poisoning (HIGH)
43% of MCP servers vulnerable
- Tool metadata manipulation
- Context poisoning
- Resource theft
**Remediation**:
- Validate MCP server implementations
- Implement tool integrity checks
- Monitor for quota abuse
### 8. Elevated Mode Bypass (HIGH)
Sandbox escape techniques
- `/elevated on` exploitation
- Host execution forcing
- Docker container bypass
**Remediation**:
- Disable elevated mode
- Restrict allowFrom permissions
- Audit elevated command usage
### 9. Zero-Click RCE Chain (CRITICAL)
2. operator.admin scope exploitation
3. Approval bypass
4. Sandbox escape
5. Remote code execution
**Remediation**:
- Apply all above remediations
- Implement defense-in-depth
- Regular security audits
## Installation
```bash
# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/4n6h4x0r/clawscan
cd clawscan
# Build release binary
cargo build --release
# Install globally (optional)
cargo install --path .
```
## Usage Examples
### Basic Scanning
```bash
# Scan with default settings (50 concurrent)
clawscan target.com
# Custom concurrency for large-scale scans
clawscan --concurrency 500 target1.com target2.com target3.com
# From file
clawscan $(cat targets.txt)
```
### Advanced Options
```bash
# JSON output for CI/CD integration
clawscan target.com --json scan-$(date +%Y%m%d).json
# Quiet mode for automated monitoring
## Target Input Formats
ClawScan intelligently parses multiple input formats:
| `example.com` | `ws://example.com:18789` | Default OpenClaw port |
| `192.168.1.100` | `ws://192.168.1.100:18789` | IP address support |
| `internal.corp.com:9999` | `ws://internal.corp.com:9999` | Custom port |
| `ws://target:18789` | Passthrough | Explicit WebSocket URL |
| `wss://secure.com:443` | Passthrough | Secure WebSocket (TLS) |
## Output Format
### Terminal Output

## Development
### Running Tests
```bash
# All unit tests
cargo test --lib
# Specific module
cargo test --lib target::tests
# With output
cargo test --lib -- --nocapture
```
### TDD Workflow
1. Write failing test
2. Implement minimal code to pass
3. Refactor for clarity
4. Repeat
