Singapore's IMDA warns users against granting OpenClaw unrestricted access

Singapore regulators have issued an advisory on agentic AI platform OpenClaw, citing limited built-in security controls, such as authentication gaps. In its first such warning to organisations, the Infocomm Media Development Authority advised users against unrestricted access to files and applications. Doing so may run the risk of having sensitive data leaked to other external AI model providers. Over 400 cases of vulnerabilities and exposures have been reported. Released in November last year, OpenClaw can automate and carry out everyday tasks. Its popularity was driven by the ease of usage and integration with other tools.
