Issue

GuavaGuard (guava-guard) was published successfully (clawhub publish returned OK, version 9.2.1) but the skill page shows "Skill not found" on clawhub.ai. It appears to have been auto-hidden by ClawHub's security scanner.

Why it's a false positive

GuavaGuard is a security scanning tool for OpenClaw skills. It detects threats like reverse shells, credential exfiltration, and prompt injection.

The scanner's detection patterns are string literals inside guava-guard.js — things like:

  • /dev/tcp/ (reverse shell detection)
  • webhook.site, requestbin.com (exfiltration endpoint detection)
  • base64 --decode | bash (download-to-shell detection)
  • nc -e, socat TCP (reverse shell detection)

These are detection signatures, not malicious code. It's the same reason antivirus definition files sometimes trigger other antivirus scanners.

Published versions

  • guava-guard@9.2.0 (k97cam23t6xkc04n68ttd7jb8h816d24)
  • guava-guard@9.2.1 (k97f6yazbcyjwjjbgnbppf0zz5816368)

Request

Could a moderator review and unhide the skill? Happy to provide any additional context.

Related: This is the same tool mentioned in the OpenClaw community for skill security scanning (Soul Lock, SoulChain, Runtime Guard).
