General approach: avoid logging sensitive values directly. Either (a) ensure that callers never pass messages containing secrets to fail, or (b) change fail so it does not emit potentially sensitive details to the console (or redacts them) while still indicating that a test failed.
Best single fix with minimal behavior change: keep the fail(name, error) signature, but change the implementation so that it logs only a generic representation of error that is unlikely to contain secrets, instead of String(error). Given we cannot analyze or sanitize arbitrary error messages safely within this small utility, the safest option is to stop logging the error details entirely (or log only a generic placeholder). This still preserves test pass/fail counts and names, which is what the rest of the test runner logic uses.
Concretely, in skills/clawsec-analyst/test/lib/test_harness.mjs, update the fail function so that line 31 no longer interpolates String(error). For example, replace it with a static message like " (error details omitted for security)". No additional imports or helper methods are required.
This single change fixes all alert variants, because config.apiKey only reaches the sink through the error argument to fail, and we will no longer log error.

createFallbackAnalysis only maps lowercase severities to priorities but isValidFeedPayload accepts any casing (the docs even show "severity": "HIGH"), so a fallback hit for an uppercase severity falls through to the default MEDIUM priority and misclassifies the advisory; can we normalize advisory.severity (toLowerCase) or accept uppercase keys before mapping so fallback honors the actual severity?

The entire cache.js is a verbatim copy of lib/cache.ts, so every bug fix or enhancement must be applied twice; can we keep the TS source as canonical and let the build emit/require the JS instead of maintaining parallel files?

setCachedAnalysis writes cache JSON with fs.writeFile and no explicit mode/chmod, so files are created world-readable (default 0o666 + umask) while the state file enforces 0o600; cached analysis can be read by other users. Can we write the cache with mode 0o600 or chmod it afterwards like persistState does?

Prompt for AI Agents:
In skills/clawsec-analyst/lib/cache.ts around lines 101 to 117, the setCachedAnalysis
function writes the cache file without explicit permissions which can leave it
world-readable. Change it to write the file with mode 0o600 (or write then call
fs.chmod(cachePath, 0o600) immediately after) and also ensure ensureCacheDir creates the
directory with restrictive permissions (e.g., fs.mkdir(CACHE_DIR, { recursive: true,
mode: 0o700 }) or fs.chmod on the directory after creation). Update error handling
accordingly and keep the write/chmod operations non-fatal (log on failure) as before.

Handler now declares and pushes {role, content} objects into event.messages, but OpenClaw hook events expect messages: string[] (each entry a plain string), so these objects will be serialized as [object Object] or rejected by the gateway, preventing the AI assistant text from showing; can we push strings instead?

In skills/clawsec-analyst/handler.ts around lines 21 to 27, the HookEvent interface
defines messages as an array of {role, content} objects but the OpenClaw hook expects
messages: string[]. Change the HookEvent.messages type to string[] and then update the
handler logic (around lines 250 to 259 where event.messages.push is called) to push a
plain string instead of an object — for example push message (the content string) or a
formatted string like `assistant: ${message}`. Ensure any other places that read or
write event.messages are adjusted to treat entries as strings so TypeScript remains
correct. If necessary, add a small conversion helper to convert the existing object
format to a string before pushing.

state.last_feed_check is set earlier but this early return runs before persistState, so the scan interval never persists and every subsequent event re-fetches the feed; can we save the updated state before returning when no feed/advisories are available?
