How to Scan for Misconfigurations with OpenClaw

Security misconfiguration scanning with OpenClaw and ToolRouter. Detect exposed services.

OpenClaw runs Nuclei scans as automated, scheduled security assessments that provide continuous visibility into your vulnerability posture. Scan for CVEs, misconfigurations, default credentials, and outdated software across your entire infrastructure in a single systematic pass. Its batch scanning approach is ideal for establishing regular security baselines and tracking vulnerability trends over time, ensuring new threats are caught as templates are updated.

Connect ToolRouter to OpenClaw

1Install the CLI

npm install -g toolrouter-mcp

2Call tools directly from OpenClaw

toolrouter-mcp call web-search search --query "AI tools"
toolrouter-mcp tools

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Security Nuclei tool:

Ask OpenClaw: "Scan my server for security misconfigurations"
OpenClaw returns exposed endpoints and configuration issues
Prioritize and remediate the findings by severity

Example Prompt

Try this with OpenClaw using the Security Nuclei tool

Check our production site for any misconfigured services, exposed panels, or debug endpoints that should be locked down.

Tips

Misconfigurations are the lowest-hanging fruit for attackers
Fix exposed admin panels and debug endpoints immediately
Rescan after remediation to confirm the issues are resolved
