Summary

Hide ▲

The OpenClaw configuration environment was exfiltrated by an information stealer, creating remote access and impersonation risk for the affected AI agent instance. The stolen material included openclaw.json, device.json, and soul.md. Those files held a gateway token, pairing keys, and operational context that could let an attacker act as the client if the service port is exposed. The case shows stealer malware harvesting AI-agent identity and control data, not just browser credentials.

    OpenClaw user secrets exposure documented by Hudson Rock

    Initial Disclosure

    Hudson Rock documented an OpenClaw user secrets exposure in which an infostealer used a broad file-grabbing routine to sweep sensitive file extensions and .openclaw directories, then collected openclaw.json, device.json, and memory files such as agents.md and memory.md. The stolen data exposed the victim’s email address, workspace path, gateway token, and device private keys, creating a path to remote access, impersonation, and broader compromise of the user’s digital identity.

    Hudson Rock discloses OpenClaw configuration exfiltration and token theft

    Initial Disclosure

    Hudson Rock disclosed an information stealer infection, likely a Vidar variant, that exfiltrated a victim's OpenClaw configuration environment and captured openclaw.json, device.json, and soul.md. The stolen gateway authentication token and pairing keys could enable remote connection to the affected OpenClaw instance if the port is exposed or allow authenticated impersonation of the client, while OpenClaw maintainers responded by announcing a VirusTotal partnership to scan ClawHub uploads, establish a threat model, and audit for misconfigurations.
