Viewpoint Network News: On March 15, the China Internet Finance Association issued a warning that while the OpenClaw agent can improve work efficiency, its default high system permissions and weak security configurations are easily exploited by attackers, becoming a breach point for stealing sensitive data or illegally controlling transactions, posing serious risks to the industry.

The China Internet Finance Association advises financial consumers to be extremely cautious when installing OpenClaw on devices used for online banking, securities trading, payments, and other personal financial activities.

If installation is necessary, it is recommended not to grant system operation permissions related to financial services, promptly follow up on OpenClaw vulnerability fixes, strictly control the installation of functional plugins, and avoid entering sensitive information such as ID numbers, bank card numbers, or payment passwords when not in use.

Additionally, such applications continuously calling large model interfaces during operation may incur high Token costs; users are advised to monitor closely.
