A CLI tool that scans your network for exposed OpenClaw instances, maps their CVE exposure, and pushes patch commands to bring them current

245,000 OpenClaw instances sit publicly accessible on Shodan and ZoomEye as of May 2026, most still vulnerable to the Claw Chain sandbox-escape chain (CVE-2026-44112 through CVE-2026-44118). Enterprise teams running multiple instances have no way to discover which ones are exposed, which CVEs apply to each version, and batch-apply patches. Existing tools check a single known instance but cannot scan a CIDR range or fleet. This tool crawls a network, fingerprints each OpenClaw version, maps it against the full CVE database (138+ tracked), and pushes upgrade commands over SSH or Docker API.

Gap Assessment

CompetitiveMultiple tools exist but differentiation opportunities remain

3 tools exist (Cognio OpenClaw Security Scanner, openclaw-security-monitor, ManageMyClaw CVE Tracker) but gaps remain: Cannot scan a network range, no fleet management, no patch orchestration, no continuous monitoring; Single-instance focus, no fleet discovery, no automated patching, no version fingerprinting across a network.

Features4 agent-ready prompts

CIDR-range scanner that fingerprints OpenClaw instances by probing the gateway health endpoint and extracting version strings from response headers
CVE mapper that cross-references each discovered instance version against a local SQLite database of all 138+ OpenClaw CVEs with severity, affected versions, and fix versions
Fleet patch orchestrator that SSHs or Docker-APIs into each instance and runs the upgrade command, with dry-run mode and rollback snapshots
Scheduled continuous monitoring daemon that re-scans on a cron interval, diffs against previous scan, and alerts on newly exposed or newly vulnerable instances via webhook
