OpenClaw control plane exposed to the internet

published 2026-08-05 · updated 2026-08-05

Why it matters

OpenClaw (also seen as Clawdbot/Moltbot) is a personal AI agent gateway. A public control UI — especially with auth_mode none — lets strangers drive the agent, its tools, and its skills.

What a probe sees

GET :18789/__openclaw/control-ui-config.json answers serverVersion/auth_mode without login.

Internet-facing exposure — observable from the public internet with GET-only probes (the same probes unauth.dev sends).

In the wild

No honeypot telemetry for this service yet (in_the_wild: null in the dataset). We do not invent numbers. The block appears when the honeypot has real data.

Fix it
