Security audit

Avatar

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

Avatar appears to be a legitimate video-avatar plugin, but it runs local helper code and uses your OpenClaw, LemonSlice, and LiveKit credentials and audio.

Install only if you trust the publisher and the LemonSlice/LiveKit data flow. Prefer a pinned or ClawHub version, use dedicated revocable API keys, protect your OpenClaw config and gateway token, and avoid sensitive conversations unless you are comfortable with the external provider processing.
