The MIIT of China recently issued a security risk warning to prevent the OpenClaw open-source AI agent.

BlockBeats News, March 8th. The Network Security Threat and Vulnerability Information Sharing Platform of the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently issued a security risk alert to prevent OpenClaw open-source AI agent, detecting that some instances of the OpenClaw (commonly known as "Lobster") open-source AI agent have high security risks under default or improper configurations, making them highly susceptible to network attacks, information leakage, and other security issues.

The alert recommends that relevant organizations and users, when deploying and using OpenClaw, thoroughly check the public exposure, permission configuration, and credential management situations, close unnecessary public network access, enhance identity authentication, access control, data encryption, security auditing, and other security mechanisms, and continuously monitor official security announcements and hardening recommendations to prevent potential network security risks.
