Product Idea from this Signal

A CLI tool that audits your OpenClaw instance against every known CVE, flags exposed endpoints, and generates a hardening playbook specific to your config

2.4k โ–ฒ

OpenClaw has 138+ CVEs as of May 2026 with 500K instances on the public internet and 63% running without authentication. The jgamblin/OpenClawCVEs tracker holds 413 published vulnerability records. Developers who initially promoted OpenClaw are publicly abandoning it because the security posture is unknowable without manually cross-referencing dozens of advisories against your specific version and config. This CLI scans your running instance, matches your exact version and enabled plugins against the full CVE database, checks for exposed endpoints and missing auth, and outputs an actionable hardening plan.
