A background service that continuously scans your OpenClaw instance against the live CVE database and auto-applies security patches before attackers find you
OpenClaw has accumulated 138 CVEs in under 5 months with 7 critical and 49 high severity vulnerabilities. 135,000+ instances are exposed across 82 countries, and JFrog found 93.4% of publicly reachable instances had critical authentication bypasses. New CVEs drop every few days (13 in April 2026 alone). The gap is clear: a background service that runs continuously on your gateway, checks every new CVE against your running version, tests for exposure, and either auto-patches or kills the vulnerable surface before exploitation.
