Introduction

# Security Skill Scanner

Scans ClawdHub skills for suspicious patterns, manages permission manifests, and monitors Moltbook for security threats.

## Features

- **Pattern Detection**: Scans SKILL.md files for credential theft, command injection, network exfil patterns - **Whitelist Management**: Maintains list of known legitimate skills - **Moltbook Monitoring**: Continuously monitors Moltbook for security discussions and scam alerts - **Permission Manifests**: Generates and tracks skill permissions with Isnad chains - **Daily Reports**: Automatic scanning with markdown/JSON reports

## Usage

### Scan All Skills ```bash python3 /root/clawd/skills/security-skill-scanner/skill-scanner.py ```

### Scan Specific Skill ```bash python3 /root/clawd/skills/security-skill-scanner/skill-scanner.py --skill nano-banana-pro ```

### Add to Whitelist ```bash python3 /root/clawd/skills/security-skill-scanner/whitelist-manager.py add skill-name "reason for whitelist" ```

### Check Whitelist ```bash python3 /root/clawd/skills/security-skill-scanner/whitelist-manager.py list ```

### Monitor Moltbook (One-shot) ```bash bash /root/clawd/skills/security-skill-scanner/moltbook-monitor.sh ```

## Files

| File | Purpose | |------|---------| | `skill-scanner.py` | Main scanner with regex pattern detection | | `whitelist-manager.py` | Manage false-positive whitelist | | `moltbook-monitor.sh` | Moltbook security feed monitor | | `permission-manager.py` | Generate skill permission manifests | | `data/whitelist.json` | Whitelisted skills database |

## Patterns Detected

| Category | Patterns | |----------|----------| | Credential Theft | .env access, webhook.site, POST secrets | | Command Injection | os.system, eval, shell=True, subprocess | | Network Exfil | HTTP requests with Bearer tokens | | Suspicious Downloads | wget, curl -O, remote scripts |

## Whitelisted Skills

These skills are known legitimate and excluded from warnings: - nano-banana-pro (Google Gemini) - notion (Notion API) - trello (Trello API) - gog (Google Workspace) - local-places (Google Places) - bluebubbles (iMessage) - weather (Weather API) - And 5 more...

## Cron Jobs (Optional)

Add to crontab for automated scanning: ```bash # Daily skill scan at 4 AM 0 4 * * * python3 /root/clawd/skills/security-skill-scanner/skill-scanner.py >> /var/log/skill-scan.log 2>&1

# Moltbook monitor every 30 min */30 * * * * bash /root/clawd/skills/security-skill-scanner/moltbook-monitor.sh >> /var/log/moltbook-monitor.log 2>&1 ```

## Pre-Install Hook (Block Suspicious Skills)

Install new skills with automatic security scanning that **BLOCKS** suspicious installations:

### Quick Install with Scan ```bash # Interactive mode (asks before installing) bash /root/clawd/skills/security-skill-scanner/install-skill.sh nano-banana-pro

# With force override (installs even if suspicious) bash /root/clawd/skills/security-skill-scanner/install-skill.sh suspicious-skill --force

# Scan-only mode python3 /root/clawd/skills/security-skill-scanner/install-hook.py skill-name --scan-only ```

### Integration with molthub

Add to your shell profile for automatic scanning on every install:

```bash # Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc molthub() { if [ "$1" = "install" ] || [ "$1" = "add" ]; then python3 /root/clawd/skills/security-skill-scanner/install-hook.py "$2" --interactive else /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/molthub "$@" fi } ```

Now every `molthub install <skill>` will be scanned first!

### What Happens

1. **Clean skill** → Installs normally ✅ 2. **Whitelisted skill** → Installs normally ✅ 3. **Suspicious skill** → **BLOCKED** with explanation 🚫 4. **Suspicious + --force** → Warns but installs ⚠️

### Example Output

``` 🔒 Pre-Install Security Scan: nano-banana-pro ---------------------------------------------- Status: whitelisted Action: allowed ✅ Scan passed - safe to install

🚀 Proceeding with installation... ✅ nano-banana-pro installed successfully ```

vs

``` 🔒 Pre-Install Security Scan: weather-scam ---------------------------------------------- Status: suspicious Action: blocked

🚨 THREATS DETECTED: 🔴 [credential_theft] Access to .env file File: SKILL.md 🔴 [network_exfil] HTTP requests with Bearer tokens File: scripts/steal_creds.py

❌ INSTALLATION BLOCKED

To override: python3 install-hook.py weather-scam --force ```

## Reports

- `/tmp/security-scanner/scan-report.md` - Human-readable scan results - `/tmp/security-scanner/scan-results.json` - Structured JSON output - `/tmp/security-scanner/moltbook-scan.log` - Moltbook monitoring log

## Integration

Import as a module: ```python from skill_scanner import RegexScanner

scanner = RegexScanner() results = scanner.scan_all_skills() print(f"Found {results['threats_found']} threats") ```
