# 🔒 VPS Security Audit Summary - 2026-02-11

## Overall Score: **8.5/10** 🟢 (Good!)

---

## ✅ What's Excellent

1. **Network Security** → Gateway bound to localhost (127.0.0.1:18789 only)
2. **Authentication** → Strong token-based auth (not disabled)
3. **Access Control** → DMs allowlist + group allowlist
4. **Core Permissions** → Config, credentials, media are 700/600
5. **API Keys** → Not exposed in config (using channel tokens)

---

## 🔧 Fixed During Audit

- ✅ **Locked down 26+ auth.json files** (644 → 600)
- ✅ **Created security audit report**

---

## ⚠️ Remaining Recommendations

### Priority 1 (This Week)
- [ ] Enable logging redaction in `openclaw.json`
- [ ] Review unbrowse-openclaw plugin (remove if unused)

### Priority 2 (Optional)
- [ ] Change SSH port from 22 to non-standard
- [ ] Configure firewall (ufw)
- [ ] Set up `gateway.trustedProxies` if using reverse proxy

## 🎯 Key Metrics

- **Network Exposure:** 0 ports exposed (except SSH:22)

- **Audit Findings:** 0 critical, 4 warnings
- **OpenClaw Security Audit:** 1 critical (plugin), 12 warnings (skills code)

## 📝 Notes

**Critical Finding:** Unbrowse plugin flagged with 12 shell execution warnings. This is expected for browser automation tools but worth reviewing if not actively used.

**Overall Assessment:** Your VPS is **well-configured for personal use**. The main issue (world-readable auth files) has been fixed. Consider adding logging redaction and firewall hardening for production deployments.
