OpenClaw Deployment Hardening
Use this skill to add repeatable security gates around OpenClaw build and deployment workflows.
Enforce a Secure Build Pipeline
Add mandatory controls to CI before artifacts are promoted:
- Dependency and lockfile vulnerability scan (fail on critical CVEs).
- Image scan for OS/package vulnerabilities.
- Secret scanning across source and build context.
- SBOM generation and artifact signing.
- Policy check that blocks deploy when controls fail.
Example CI step order:
# Build
npm ci
npm run build
# Security gates
trivy fs .
trivy image my-registry/openclaw:${GIT_SHA}
syft my-registry/openclaw:${GIT_SHA} -o spdx-json > sbom.json
cosign sign --key cosign.key my-registry/openclaw:${GIT_SHA}
Lock Down Container Runtime
Run OpenClaw with restrictive defaults:
- Non-root user in container
- Read-only root filesystem where possible
- Drop all Linux capabilities, add back only required
no-new-privilegesenabled- Constrained CPU/memory limits to reduce abuse impact
- Seccomp/AppArmor (or equivalent) profile enforced
Kubernetes-oriented expectations:
runAsNonRoot: trueallowPrivilegeEscalation: falsereadOnlyRootFilesystem: true- network policy deny-all baseline with explicit allow rules
Gate Production Promotion
Require explicit promotion checks:
- Security sign-off on CVE exceptions.
- Signed artifact verification in deployment stage.
- Drift check between expected and live manifest values.
- Deployment only from immutable tags or digests.
Avoid mutable latest tags for production OpenClaw services.
Protect Data and Session Surfaces
- Minimize prompt/response retention by policy.
- Mask secrets and PII in logs before shipping to SIEM.
- Encrypt persistent volumes and backups.
- Isolate tenant/session data boundaries when serving multiple teams.
Post-Deploy Verification
Run a hardening smoke test immediately after rollout:
kubectl get pods -n openclaw
kubectl auth can-i --as=system:serviceaccount:openclaw:default list secrets -n openclaw
kubectl get networkpolicy -n openclaw
kubectl logs deploy/openclaw -n openclaw --tail=200
Verify:
- Pod security context matches policy.
- Service account permissions are least privilege.
- Ingress auth/rate limits are effective.
- No plaintext secrets appear in logs.
Incident-Ready Rollback Pattern
Maintain a hardened rollback workflow:
- Freeze further rollouts.
- Revoke suspect tokens and rotate secrets.
- Roll back to last signed known-good image digest.
- Re-run post-deploy hardening verification.
- Capture timeline and artifacts for forensics.
