GitHub OpenClaw Deployer Repo Delivers Trojan
In early March 2026, a sophisticated supply chain attack targeted the OpenClaw AI agent ecosystem. Threat actors uploaded over 300 malicious 'skills' to ClawHub, OpenClaw's official plugin marketplace, disguising them as legitimate productivity tools. Once installed, these skills deployed the Atomic macOS Stealer (AMOS) on macOS systems and GhostSocks proxy malware on Windows systems, enabling unauthorized data exfiltration and system control. The campaign remained undetected for several weeks, compromising an unknown number of users. This incident underscores the escalating risks associated with AI agent ecosystems and the exploitation of trusted platforms like GitHub and ClawHub. The attackers' ability to manipulate trust signals and evade automated security measures highlights the need for enhanced vigilance and robust security protocols in open-source AI environments.
