With the rapid advancement of open-source technology, OpenClaw, an open framework, has been widely adopted in automation systems, IoT devices, and critical infrastructure; however, its openness also introduces unprecedented information security risks, including exploiting vulnerabilities, where open-source code is susceptible to malicious analysis and rapid exploitation of vulnerabilities, supply chain attacks, where third-party modules or plugins may be tampered with and compromise the security of entire systems, and compliance challenges, where open architectures struggle to meet stringent regulatory requirements such as GDPR and ISO 27001, thereby increasing compliance risks. This talk will highlight the security risk analysis of OpenClaw, including how to identify and assess potential vulnerabilities in the OpenClaw framework, and will review case studies of major security incidents caused by OpenClaw in recent years. It will also cover mitigation strategies and best practices, including code auditing through automated tools such as SonarQube and GitHub Advanced Security to detect security issues in open-source code, supply chain security through the establishment of a trusted verification mechanism for third-party modules, and compliance frameworks for aligning OpenClaw systems with existing regulatory requirements to ensure compliance.
