OpenClaw AI Runs Wild in Business Environments

> The popular open source AI assistant (aka ClawdBot, MoltBot) has taken off, raising security concerns over its privileged, autonomous control within users' computers.

> An open source AI agent dubbed OpenClaw — formerly MoltBot, née ClawdBot — has become the fastest-growing project on GitHub. But with that popularity has come security concerns.

> As Token Security assessed, the personal AI assistant is essentially "Claude with hands," referencing the Anthropic large language model (LLM) that powers many enterprise AI stacks.

> OpenClaw "connects directly to email, files, messaging platforms, and system tools, creating persistent non-human identities and access paths that fall outside traditional IAM and secrets controls.

> It can execute terminal commands, run scripts, browse the web, read and write files, control browsers, retain memory across sessions, and proactively act on a user's behalf," according to Token Security, an AI-aware identity-security provider.
