Vulnerability in OpenClaw: one-click RCE exploit

The OpenClaw ecosystem, formerly known as ClawdBot and Moltbot, continues to be plagued by security issues. Recently, vulnerabilities have been discovered that allow for remote code execution (RCE) with a single click on a compromised web page.

Researchers have demonstrated how an exploit chain can be used to take control of bots and, potentially, the entire underlying infrastructure. Several projects within the ecosystem are releasing patches to mitigate these risks.

The ease with which these exploits can be triggered underscores the importance of continuous vigilance and robust security practices in the development and maintenance of software projects, especially in distributed and automated contexts such as those of bots.
