OpenClaw Exposes Over 135,000 Internet-Facing Instances
SecurityScorecard's STRIKE team on Monday reported more than 135,000 internet-exposed OpenClaw instances, up from about 40,000 earlier the same day, and over 50,000 vulnerable to a known RCE bug. STRIKE says default network bindings and insecure skills have turned the open-source agent into a high-value attack vector, urging immediate configuration changes and cautious organizational deployment.
Scoring Rationale
High urgency and broad organizational impact drive the score; limited novel vulnerabilities beyond rapidly escalating exposure counts reduces uniqueness.
