National Internet Emergency Center Releases OpenClaw Security Application Risk Warning

The National Internet Emergency Center has issued a security application risk alert for OpenClaw. Previously, due to improper installation and use of the OpenClaw agent, some serious security risks have emerged. It is recommended that relevant organizations and individual users take the following security measures when deploying and using OpenClaw: 1. Strengthen network control by not exposing OpenClaw’s default management port directly to the internet. Use authentication, access control, and other security measures to securely manage access services. Strictly isolate the operating environment and use container technology to limit OpenClaw’s excessive permissions; 2. Enhance credential management by avoiding plaintext storage of keys in environment variables; establish a comprehensive operation log auditing mechanism; 3. Strictly manage plugin sources, disable automatic update features, and only install signed extensions from trusted channels; 4. Continuously monitor patches and security updates, and promptly update versions and install security patches.
