The intelligent "lobster" has been involved in safety disputes. Many universities have urgently stopped and strictly prohibited its use.

After the use of the open source AI agent OpenClaw (commonly known as "Lobster") started a craze, its potential security risks quickly attracted the attention of regulatory authorities.The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments have reminded that under default or improper configuration, "lobster" can easily cause security issues such as network attacks and information leaks, and it is timely to cool down the "lobster fever" that continues to heat up.

at present,Many universities have successively issued documents requiring the prevention of OpenClaw security risks, and some universities have even explicitly prohibited its use on campus.

Zhuhai University of Science and Technology notified that OpenClaw must be uninstalled immediately and completely, and users who install it in violation of regulations will be severely dealt with.

South China Normal University reminds teachers and students to use it with caution and strictly prohibits the installation of OpenClaw in production environments and office computers, including the school's office computers, servers, smart terminals and other production equipment.

Central China Normal University also issued a relevant reminder, explicitly prohibiting the installation of OpenClaw on servers assigned by the Information Office, and requiring verification of relevant deployments, focusing on public network exposure, permission configuration and credential management; if it is indeed necessary to use it, unnecessary public network access should be closed immediately.

The Network Security and Information Office of Anhui Normal University recommends "not deploying and using it unless necessary" and reminds teachers and students to avoid using OpenClaw on devices connected to the campus network, office computers, and devices containing sensitive personal information and work data.

While the open source intelligent agent project OpenClaw continues to attract attention from the entire network, its security risks have also been further officially confirmed.

After the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a document reminding AI to be wary of safety risks when raising "lobsters", on March 10,The National Internet Emergency Center officially issued a security risk warning for OpenClaw, clearly stating that this open source AI agent has experienced four serious risks, including "prompt word injection", "misoperation", functional plug-in poisoning, and security vulnerabilities due to high-risk vulnerabilities in the default configuration and loss of permissions.
