🟢 Trusted
No high-risk patterns surfaced by the deep scan — automated capability review, not behavioral proof.

A defensive security ruleset for the OpenClaw Guardian plugin that blocks credential theft, data exfiltration, and infrastructure destruction via pure regex enforcement; the content describes protections, not attacks.

⚠ Flagged for review — coarse, uncorroborated signal, not a confirmed exploit. Review the config yourself before installing.
