"Exploitability indicators: 15.2K exposed instances appear vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE), meaning attackers can take over the host machine, with 35.4% of observed deployments flagged as vulnerable. 24K+ instances associated with known CVEs, including multiple critical vulnerabilities.
Out of the box, OpenClaw binds to `0.0.0.0:18789`, meaning it listens on all network interfaces, including the public internet," STRIKE noted. "For a tool this powerful, the default should be `127.0.0.1` (localhost only). It isn't.
At the very least, immediately change that binding to point it to localhost."
Ideally, test in a VM or separate system and think of it like a criminal with a history of identity theft who codes well 😅
