OpenClaw also got a terrifying privilege escalation vulnerability https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-33579

Meanwhile the OpenClaw founder is claiming shush, it's no big deal, probably most of these aren't really exploitable! (There's good business interest reasons to argue that, since OpenClaw's founders got acquired by OpenAI) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47629849

Okay. I know I have more than a few security researchers following me. There's a public list of literally hundreds of thousands of publicly accessible OpenClaw instances right here: https://openclaw.allegro.earth/

Anyone try taking a sampling of them and testing how vulnerable against recent escalation CVEs they are? Could be a rather juicy writeup!

By the way, I encourage browsing through the CVEs reported https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/search#/nvd/home?keyword=openclaw&resultType=records

These are by and large not minor CVEs.
