Was CISOs über OpenClaw wissen sollten

OpenClaw is a popular open-source tool that orchestrates AI agents (programs that can act independently across devices and trigger workflows) and can interact with online services and chat apps, but security researchers warn it poses serious risks because these agents can perform any action a user can perform while being controlled externally. Early versions were insecure by default, and over 42,000 exposed instances have been found online with critical authentication bypass vulnerabilities (flaws that let attackers skip login checks), creating risks including data theft, unauthorized access, and potential exposure of confidential business information.
