OpenClaw Security Policy

You found a vulnerability. Emailing the repo gets ignored. Here's the official disclosure channel.

What breaks without openclaw security policy

No clear disclosure path. Vulnerability reports lost in public issues. Unsupported versions running in production.

Responsible disclosure path × GitHub Private Vulnerability Reporting ÷ 5-minute read ÷ zero public exposure risk = vulnerabilities reported, acknowledged, and patched.

Troubleshooting openclaw security policy

1
1. Filing security issues as public GitHub issues — publicly discloses vulnerabilities before a fix is available
2
2. Not including a minimal reproduction — incomplete reports slow triage
3
3. Reporting plugin vulnerabilities here — plugin security belongs in the plugin's own repo
