National Internet Emergency Response Center Issues Security Risk Alert for OpenClaw
The National Internet Emergency Response Center has issued a security risk alert for OpenClaw. Previously, improper installation and usage of the OpenClaw agent have already led to several serious security risks. Relevant organizations and individual users are advised to adopt the following security measures when deploying and using OpenClaw: 1. Strengthen network controls—do not expose OpenClaw’s default management port directly to the public internet; implement identity authentication, access control, and other security mechanisms to manage service access securely. Isolate the runtime environment strictly, and use containerization or similar technologies to mitigate excessive privilege issues associated with OpenClaw. 2. Enhance credential management—avoid storing keys in plaintext within environment variables; establish a comprehensive operational logging and auditing mechanism. 3. Strictly control plugin sources—disable automatic update functionality and install only signed, verified extensions from trusted channels. 4. Continuously monitor patches and security updates, and promptly upgrade versions and apply security patches.
