Full Incident Analysis Transcript
In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the OpenClaw breach identified under incident ID OPE1774434339.
The analysis begins with a detailed overview of OpenClaw's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/openclaw, the number of followers: 0, the industry type: Technology, Information and Internet and the number of employees: 2 employees
After the initial compromise, the video explains how Rankiteo's incident engine converts technical details into a normalized incident score. The incident score before the incident was 761 and after the incident was 756 with a difference of -5 which is could be a good indicator of the severity and impact of the incident.
In the next step of the video, we will analyze in more details the incident and the impact it had on OpenClaw and their customers.
OpenClaw recently reported "Critical Flaw in OpenClaw’s ClawHub Marketplace Exposed Supply Chain Attack Risk", a noteworthy cybersecurity incident.
Security researchers at Silverfort uncovered a severe vulnerability in OpenClaw’s ClawHub skills marketplace, enabling attackers to manipulate download rankings and push a malicious skill to the top of its category.
The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting OpenClaw agents, ClawHub marketplace, and exposing Basic identity data (usernames, domain names), with nearly 3,900+ installations records at risk.
In response, moved swiftly to contain the threat with measures like Patch deployed within 24 hours of disclosure, and began remediation that includes Closed the exposed RPC endpoint, implemented stricter security boundaries.
The case underscores how Resolved, teams are taking away lessons such as Risks in reputation-based trust systems, need for strict security boundaries in RPC-centric backends, and the importance of runtime guardrails for AI ecosystems, and recommending next steps like Implement ClawNet or similar security plugins to scan skills for suspicious patterns before installation. Enforce structured security reviews in fast-evolving projects.
Finally, we try to match the incident with the MITRE ATT&CK framework to see if there is any correlation between the incident and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
The MITRE ATT&CK framework is a knowledge base of techniques and sub-techniques that are used to describe the tactics and procedures of cyber adversaries. It is a powerful tool for understanding the threat landscape and for developing effective defense strategies.
MITRE ATT&CK® Correlation Analysis
Rankiteo's analysis has identified several MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques associated with this incident, each with varying levels of confidence based on available evidence. Under the Initial Access tactic, the analysis identified Supply Chain Compromise: Compromise Software Supply Chain (T1195.002) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating critical Flaw in OpenClaw’s ClawHub Marketplace Exposed Supply Chain Attack Risk and Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with high confidence (95%), supported by evidence indicating publicly exposed RPC endpoint intended for internal use lacked authentication. Under the Execution tactic, the analysis identified User Execution: Malicious File (T1204.002) with moderate to high confidence (85%), supported by evidence indicating real users and OpenClaw agents installed it 3,900 times across 50+ cities and Inter-Process Communication: RPC (T1559.002) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating exploiting misconfigured RPC endpoint to boost download counts. Under the Persistence tactic, the analysis identified Event Triggered Execution: Windows Management Instrumentation Event Subscription (T1546.003) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating malicious skill embedded in Outlook Graph Integration for data exfiltration. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Masquerading: Match Legitimate Name or Location (T1036.005) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating malicious Outlook Graph Integration skill pushed to #1 spot in its category and Impair Defenses: Disable or Modify Tools (T1562.001) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating clawHub’s ranking system manipulated to bypass safeguards. Under the Collection tactic, the analysis identified Data from Local System (T1005) with moderate to high confidence (85%), supported by evidence indicating leaking basic identity data (usernames, domain names) to a controlled server. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating data-exfiltration payload...leaking basic identity data to a controlled server. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Defacement: Internal Defacement (T1491.001) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating manipulate download rankings to push malicious skill to top of its category and Data Manipulation: Transmitted Data Manipulation (T1565.002) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating artificially inflate a package’s popularity via automated requests. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
