OpenClaw security checklist
Use this page as a rollout gate before you expose OpenClaw to real channels, credentials, or public workflows.
Baseline controls
- Keep gateways and operator panels private by default.
- Separate credentials by channel and by model provider.
- Review imported skills like supply-chain inputs, not like harmless snippets.
- Document failure handling so humans know when to intervene.
- Treat public exposure and over-broad automation as release blockers.
Stop rollout if any of these are true
- A single credential can post or act across every connected channel.
- A third-party skill is imported without a human review step.
- No one can explain how failures are surfaced or rolled back.
- Management surfaces are reachable from the public internet.
Why this matters
OpenClaw is compelling because it spans useful, high-trust workflows. That is exactly why weak boundaries turn into real risk: channels, automations, and imported skills all move faster than human review if you let them.
