What is OpenClaw and Why is it Dangerous?
Port 18789 Exposure
OpenClaw defaults to port 18789 with zero authentication. Over 135,000 instances are publicly accessible on Shodan and Censys, granting full remote access to connected AI agents, stored API keys, and financial credentials.
CVE-2026-25253 (CVSS 9.8)
A critical Remote Code Execution vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands on any exposed OpenClaw instance. All versions prior to the February 2026 patch are affected. Exploitation requires no authentication.
341+ Malware Skills on ClawHub
ClawHub's marketplace contains 341+ skills flagged for malicious behavior: credential exfiltration, reverse shells, keystroke logging, and crypto mining. Installing even one unvetted skill grants attackers persistent backdoor access.
Plaintext Credential Storage
By default, OpenClaw stores all API keys, OAuth tokens, and database credentials in plaintext under ~/.openclaw. Combined with port exposure, this means any attacker can steal your entire credential chain in seconds.
