OpenClaw Bash Safety — Why Your Agent Is a Security Risk

A free primer on the attack surface created by autonomous bash execution in OpenClaw agents. Covers five attack categories (obfuscation, substitution injection, encoding tricks, shell-specific vectors, persistence/escalation), explains why ClawHavoc happened and what it means for any operator with exec access, and explains why regex validation alone is insufficient. Does not include the actual validator chain — that is in the paid Bash Security Validator skill. Install this to understand the risk. Install the Bash Security Validator to close it.
