OpenClaw hit 216,000 GitHub stars in six weeks. It proved that millions of people want a personal AI assistant they can run themselves. Then came CVE-2026-25253. Then the ClawHavoc supply chain attack — 341 malicious skills, 9,000 compromised installations. Cisco and Palo Alto flagged it for a "lethal trifecta" of security risks: unrestricted tool access, no prompt injection detection, and plaintext credential storage.
