BlockBeats News, February 20 — Co-founder of SlowMist, Yu Xian, reposted a security alert. Currently, OpenClaw’s ClawHub marketplace has identified 1,184 malicious skills that can steal SSH keys, crypto wallets, browser passwords, and open reverse shells. A single attacker has uploaded 677 packages. The top-ranked skill contains 9 vulnerabilities and has been downloaded thousands of times.
Yu Xian warned users that text is no longer just text, but instructions. It is recommended to use AI tools in a separate environment, as many OpenClaw skills pose potential risks. Additionally, in Web3 security, smart contracts are only part of the picture; the true causes of incidents have long gone beyond just the contracts. A few days ago, Moonwell was hacked for $1.78 million, with the flawed code originating from Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6.
