Summary
OpenClaw patched a high-severity vulnerability chain that allows malicious websites to silently hijack local AI agents by brute-forcing passwords via WebSockets and bypassing local authentication checks.
Take Action:
Treat local AI agents as high-privilege and very dangerous services. Update your OpenClaw to version 2026.2.25 immediately. Be aware that most AI tools are half-baked extremely vulnerable products that developers didn't design or test properly and push the security problem on the user. Ideally, don't use them. If you do use them, DO NOT TRUST THEM. Isolate them on a separate computer, severely limit their access and granted abilities.
