The China Internet Finance Association issued a risk warning regarding the security of the OpenClaw application.

PANews reported on March 15th that, according to Jinshi, the National Internet Finance Association of China (NIFA) warned that while OpenClaw agents can improve work efficiency, their default high system privileges and weak security configurations make them highly vulnerable to attackers, becoming a breakthrough for stealing sensitive data or illegally manipulating transactions, posing a serious risk to the industry. NIFA advises financial consumers to be extremely cautious when installing OpenClaw on terminals used for online banking, securities trading, payments, and other personal financial services. If installation is necessary, it is recommended not to grant operational permissions to financial service systems, to promptly follow up on OpenClaw vulnerability patches, to strictly control the installation of functional plugins, and to avoid entering sensitive information such as ID card numbers, bank card numbers, and payment passwords during use. Furthermore, such applications continuously call large model interfaces during operation, which may generate high token fees; users are advised to pay close attention to this.
