AI Incident Database · article · Feb 2, 2026 · UTC

Bitdefender researchers reported abuse in OpenClaw's third-party 'skills' ecosystem. In a Feb. 2026 sample, about 17% of skills were reportedly assessed as malicious, with many seemingly cloned under slight name changes. Posing as utilities, some skills were reportedly found to run obfuscated commands, fetch remote payloads, and in some cases deliver AMOS Stealer on macOS. Other skills were reportedly observed searching for private keys or API tokens and exfiltrating them.
