Subject: [PATCH 1/7] feat(extensions): add security-shield plugin

Bundled plugin that provides runtime security guardrails:

- **Dangerous command blocking**: 20+ rules to detect and block
  destructive operations (rm -rf, curl|bash, reverse shells, fork bombs,
  crypto miners, etc.) via before_tool_call hook

- **Secret leak detection**: 18+ patterns for API keys and tokens
  (OpenAI, Anthropic, GitHub, AWS, Stripe, Slack, PEM keys, etc.)
  Scans tool output and redacts leaks in outbound messages

- **Audit logging**: JSONL trail at ~/.openclaw/security-audit.jsonl
  recording all tool invocations with findings

Configurable via openclaw.plugin.json (enforcement mode, audit log,
leak detection toggles). Zero-config defaults block critical threats.

+  Security Shield monitors all tool calls for dangerous commands and secret leaks.
+  It automatically blocks destructive operations (rm -rf, reverse shells, crypto mining)
+  and redacts API keys/tokens from tool output before they reach the conversation.
+  All tool activity is logged to ~/.openclaw/security-audit.jsonl for audit review.

+
+## Security Shield
+
+This plugin is active by default and protects against:
+
+### Dangerous command blocking
+
+Tool calls containing destructive patterns are blocked before execution:
+
+- `rm -rf`, `mkfs`, `dd of=/dev/`, `shred` — file/disk destruction
+- `curl ... | bash`, `base64 -d | sh` — remote code execution
+- `shutdown`, `reboot`, `kill -9 -1` — system disruption
+- Reverse shell patterns (`bash -i >&`, `/dev/tcp/`)
+- Crypto mining (`xmrig`, `stratum+tcp`)
+- Access to `~/.ssh/`, `~/.aws/credentials`, `.env` files
+
+### Secret leak detection
+
+Tool output is scanned for known credential patterns:
+
+- OpenAI (`sk-proj-*`), Anthropic (`sk-ant-api*`), Google (`AIza*`)
+- GitHub tokens (`ghp_*`, `github_pat_*`)
+- AWS keys (`AKIA*`), Stripe (`sk_live_*`), Slack (`xox*-*`)
+- PEM private keys, Bearer tokens, credentials in URLs
+
+Detected secrets are replaced with `[REDACTED:rule-id]` before reaching the LLM.
+
+### Audit log
+
+All tool calls are logged to `~/.openclaw/security-audit.jsonl` with:
+
+- Timestamp, tool name, parameters (truncated to 500 chars)
+- Whether the call was blocked and why
+- Security findings (rule matches)
+- Execution duration and errors
+
+### Configuration
+
+In `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` under `plugins.security-shield`:
+
+- `enforcement`: `"block"` (default), `"warn"`, or `"off"`
+- `auditLog`: `true` (default) or `false`
+- `leakDetection`: `true` (default) or `false`

Subject: [PATCH 2/7] fix(security-shield): address review feedback

- Fix aws-secret-key false positives: require key assignment context
  instead of broad 40-char match that flagged JWTs and git SHAs
- Fix heroku-key false positives: require HEROKU_API_KEY context
  instead of matching all UUIDs
- Redact secrets in tool results (after_tool_call) before they reach
  the LLM context window, not just in outbound messages
- Redact params in audit log to avoid writing secrets to disk
- Remove unused `warnings` variable
- Remove unused `dirname` import
- Use inline configSchema matching openclaw.plugin.json instead of
  emptyPluginConfigSchema()
- Import OpenClawPluginApi from standard plugin-sdk path; remove
  custom security-shield plugin-sdk surface

Subject: [PATCH 3/7] fix(security-shield): remove ineffective event.result
 mutation
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

after_tool_call is a fire-and-forget void hook — the tool result is
already emitted before the hook runs, so mutating event.result has no
effect. Remove the dead redaction code and clarify the comment.

Actual secret redaction relies on the message_sending hook which can
modify outbound content before it leaves the gateway.

Subject: [PATCH 4/7] test(security-shield): add unit tests + fix reverse shell
 regex

Add 44 tests covering:
- dangerous-commands: 19 tests (rm -rf, curl|bash, mkfs, dd, chmod,
  reverse shell, shutdown, SSH keys, crypto miners, false positives)
- leak-detector: 22 tests (OpenAI/Anthropic/GitHub/AWS/Stripe/Slack
  keys, PEM keys, URL credentials, Bearer tokens, false positive
  verification for UUID and 40-char strings)
- audit-log: 3 tests (JSONL write, param truncation, multi-entry)

Fix reverse shell regex: split \b boundaries per alternative so
/dev/tcp/ matches when followed by IP digits.

Subject: [PATCH 5/7] fix(security-shield): address second round of review
 feedback

- Narrow rm-force-root regex to only match dangerous paths (/, ~/, /etc,
  /usr, /var, /boot, /home, /root) instead of all absolute paths
- Match full PEM key blocks (header through footer) so the entire key
  body is redacted, not just the BEGIN header line
- Set audit log file permissions to 0600 (owner-only) to prevent
  world-readable secret exposure on shared systems
- Add tests for PEM full-block redaction and rm -f false positive fix

 clarify limits

- Redact error payloads in audit log entries (stderr may contain creds)
- Add comments clarifying param scanning scope and hook limitations

Subject: [PATCH 7/7] fix(security-shield): narrow param scanning, add
 transcript redaction, truncate errors

- Add tool_result_persist hook to redact secrets before session transcript
  storage, preventing secrets from being persisted to disk
- Add extractCommandParams() to scan only command-relevant param fields
  (command, input, code, path, etc.) instead of all params as a blob,
  reducing false positives from text/description fields
- Truncate error messages in audit log to 500 chars, matching params limit
- Add tests for extractCommandParams and error truncation (59 tests total)
