Gate News: On March 8, the Cybersecurity Threats and Vulnerabilities Information Sharing Platform of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a security risk warning for OpenClaw (commonly known as “Lobster”) open-source AI agents. Monitoring has found that some instances of the OpenClaw open-source AI agents pose significant security risks when configured with default or improper settings, making them highly susceptible to cyberattacks, information leaks, and other security issues. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recommends that relevant organizations and users thoroughly check the exposure of public networks, permission configurations, and credential management when deploying and using OpenClaw. They should disable unnecessary public network access, improve security mechanisms such as identity authentication, access control, data encryption, and security auditing, and continuously monitor official security announcements and reinforcement suggestions to prevent potential cybersecurity risks.
