The popular AI tool OpenClaw had a major security flaw that allowed attackers to gain full administrative control unnoticed. Users should update immediately if they haven’t done so. OpenClaw’s developer, Peter Steinberger, consistently warns that no setup is entirely secure. The flaw, CVE-2026-33579, allowed anyone with minimal access to gain full admin rights, and needs to be addressed by updating to version 2026.3.28. These recurring vulnerabilities question whether the tool’s benefits outweigh the security risks.
