HackMyAgent CLI

Part of OpenA2A — open-source security for AI agents

Website: hackmyagent.com — Scan external infrastructure for exposed MCP endpoints, configs, and credentials

What's New — v0.4.0

First scanner for CVE-2026-25253 (CVSS 8.8) — the OpenClaw WebSocket hijacking RCE.

• CVE-001: Detect vulnerable OpenClaw versions (before v2026.1.29)
• CVE-002: Control UI origin restrictions (defense-in-depth hardening)
• SUPPLY-005–008: ClawHavoc campaign IOCs (C2 IPs, malware filenames, ClickFix patterns)
• GATEWAY-007–008, CONFIG-007–009: Config hardening (open DM wildcards, disabled sandbox, weak tokens)

11 new checks. 145+ total.

Disclaimer

HackMyAgent performs passive reconnaissance only (port checks and HTTP requests) — it does not exploit vulnerabilities. However, please only scan systems you own or have permission to test. The authors assume no liability for misuse of this tool.

npx hackmyagent check @publisher/skill     # verify a skill before installing
npx hackmyagent secure                      # harden your agent setup (145+ checks)
npx hackmyagent secure --fix                # auto-fix security issues
npx hackmyagent scan example.com            # scan for exposed infrastructure
npx hackmyagent attack --local              # red team with 55 attack payloads
npx hackmyagent secure --benchmark oasb-1   # run OASB-1 security benchmark

Two Ways to Scan

Why HackMyAgent?

CVE-2026-25253 turned every OpenClaw installation into a remote code execution target. 341 malicious skills were distributed through ClawHub. AI agent security is no longer theoretical — HackMyAgent helps you:

• Check skills before installing (publisher verification, permission analysis)
• Secure your agent setup (145+ security checks with auto-remediation)
• Scan external infrastructure (exposed MCP endpoints, leaked configs)

Installation

# Use directly with npx
npx hackmyagent secure

# Or install globally
npm install -g hackmyagent

# Or add to your project
npm install --save-dev hackmyagent

Commands

hackmyagent secure

Scan and harden your local agent setup with 145+ security checks across 31 categories.

# Basic scan
hackmyagent secure

# Scan specific directory
hackmyagent secure ./my-project

# Auto-fix issues
hackmyagent secure --fix

# Preview fixes without applying
hackmyagent secure --fix --dry-run

# Skip specific checks
hackmyagent secure --ignore CRED-001,GIT-002

# JSON output for CI/CD
hackmyagent secure --json

# Show all checks (including passed)
hackmyagent secure --verbose

Security Categories:

Exit Codes:

• 0 - No critical/high issues
• 1 - Critical or high severity issues found

hackmyagent check

Verify a skill's safety before installing.

hackmyagent check @publisher/skill-name
hackmyagent check @anthropic/claude-mcp --verbose
hackmyagent check @publisher/skill --json
hackmyagent check @publisher/skill --offline  # skip DNS verification

Checks performed:

• Publisher identity via DNS TXT records
• Permissions requested (filesystem, network, shell access)
• Revocation status against global blocklist

Note: Only scan systems you own or have permission to test.

Risk Levels: low, medium, high, critical
