Your OpenClaw just installed malware disguised as a Skill.
1,184 malicious Skills found on ClawHub. They're draining browser passwords, crypto wallets, and SSH keys while you sleep.
135,000 OpenClaw instances exposed to the internet. 93.4% have zero authentication.
If you installed OpenClaw and just hit run without configuring anything? Attackers can walk right in.
Your AI assistant is literally robbing you.
5-Step Security Checklist (Do This Now):
1. Update Your Version
Run: openclaw --version
If you're not on v2026.2.26 or later, update immediately. This patch fixes ClawJacked and multiple critical exploits.
2. Audit Installed Skills
Run: ls ~/.openclaw/skills/
For each Skill:
- Did you install this intentionally?
- Does the GitHub repo still exist? Normal star count?
- Does SKILL.md ask you to run random commands?
- Any suspicious subprocess, os.system, or requests calls in the Python files?
If you don't recognize it or can't verify it, delete it.
3. Lock Down Public Access
If running on a cloud server:
- Block Gateway ports from public internet
- Use VPN or SSH tunnels only
- Enable authentication (stop running default configs)
4. Rotate All Credentials
If you're unsure whether you're compromised:
- Change critical browser passwords
- Regenerate SSH keys
- Rotate all API tokens (GitHub, cloud services, AI models)
- Check crypto wallets for unauthorized transactions
5. Vet Skills Before Installing
- Only install high-star, actively maintained Skills
- Read README and SKILL.md for sketchy commands
- Test in a VM or container first if possible
- Follow OpenClaw's official security advisories
The OpenClaw supply chain is compromised. If you're running it in production without hardening, you're already exposed.
Fix it before someone else does.
