China Internet Finance Association Issues "Risk Warning on the Security of OpenClaw's Application in the Internet Finance Industry"

Odaily News The China Internet Finance Association warns that while OpenClaw agents can enhance work efficiency, their default high system permissions and weak security configurations are highly susceptible to exploitation by attackers. This can serve as a gateway for stealing sensitive data or illegally manipulating transactions, posing severe risk challenges to the industry. The China Internet Finance Association advises financial consumers to exercise extreme caution when installing OpenClaw on terminals used for handling personal financial services such as online banking, securities trading, and payments. If installation is deemed necessary, it is recommended not to grant system operation permissions for financial services, to promptly follow up on OpenClaw vulnerability fixes, to strictly control the installation of functional plugins, and to avoid inputting sensitive information such as ID numbers, bank card numbers, and payment passwords during use. Furthermore, as such applications continuously call large model interfaces during operation, they may incur high token costs. Users are advised to closely monitor these expenses. (Jin10)
