OpenClawd Ships Verified Skill Screening After Security Researchers Find 12% of OpenClaw Marketplace Skills Are Malware
NEW YORK, NY
NEW YORK, NY — (March 17, 2026) — OpenClawd AI today released a security-focused platform update that adds automated skill vetting, verified installer sourcing, and runtime sandboxing to its managed OpenClaw hosting service. The update responds to two converging threats targeting users of the open-source AI agent formerly known as Clawdbot and Moltbot: a large-scale malware campaign inside the official OpenClaw skill marketplace, and a parallel wave of counterfeit installation packages being promoted through search engine results.
The numbers are bad enough on their own. Together, they describe a supply chain that is actively hostile to casual users.

One in Eight OpenClaw Skills Is Confirmed Malicious
Independent security researchers recently completed an audit of the ClawHub skill marketplace — the primary distribution channel for third-party OpenClaw plugins. Out of 2,857 published skills, 341 were confirmed as malicious. That is approximately 12% of the entire marketplace.
The findings include:
- Keyloggers and credential stealers deployed through skills that appear to offer legitimate productivity features
- Silent data exfiltration — one widely-downloaded skill was found to instruct the OpenClaw agent to execute curl commands that sent user data to an external server without any notification or consent prompt
- Prompt injection payloads embedded in skill descriptions, designed to override the agent’s safety guidelines and force execution of unauthorized commands
- Plaintext credential exposure — a separate audit found that over 280 additional skills were leaking API keys, tokens, and passwords in their source code
A major cybersecurity firm tested a specific ClawHub skill and published the results: nine security findings, including two critical and five high-severity issues. The skill functioned as what the researchers called “functionally malware.” The most widely-downloaded malicious skill on ClawHub was a cryptocurrency stealer.
Fake OpenClaw Installers Are Being Promoted by Search Engines
The marketplace problem is only half the story. A cybersecurity research team discovered that threat actors have published counterfeit OpenClaw installation packages on open-source code repositories. These fake installers mimic the legitimate OpenClaw setup process but instead deliver a malware packer that disables firewall protections and routes network traffic through compromised systems.
The attack chain is straightforward: a user searches for “install OpenClaw” or “Clawdbot download.” An AI-powered search engine returns a result linking to the malicious repository. The user follows the instructions. The malware deploys silently.
The researcher who discovered the campaign noted that the person who first reported the threat was a technical professional. “If a fellow IT pro is susceptible to this threat,” he said, “then anyone could be.”
“There are now two ways to get compromised before you even run your first OpenClaw command,” said Danny Wilson, spokesperson for OpenClawd. “You can install a fake version of the software, or you can install the real version and then add a skill that steals your data. We built this update so that neither path exists on our platform.”
What OpenClawd Ships Today
This update targets both the supply chain and the runtime:
- Verified installer sourcing — all OpenClawd instances are provisioned from cryptographically signed OpenClaw releases, pulled directly from the official repository. No third-party install paths. No search engine intermediaries.
- Skill vetting pipeline — third-party skills go through automated static analysis and behavioral testing before activation. Skills flagged for network exfiltration, prompt injection patterns, or credential exposure are blocked by default.
- Runtime sandboxing — each skill executes in an isolated environment with explicit permission boundaries. A skill that requests network access to an unexpected endpoint triggers a review before execution.
- Credential isolation — API keys and tokens are stored in encrypted vaults and never exposed in plaintext to skill code or agent logs
- Automatic CVE patching — hosted instances track the latest stable OpenClaw release (currently v2026.3.x), with all known vulnerabilities patched before deployment
OpenClawd does not operate its own skill marketplace. Skills available on hosted instances are drawn from the official ClawHub repository after passing the vetting pipeline described above.
OpenClawd is not affiliated with the OpenClaw open-source foundation, OpenAI, Peter Steinberger, or any third-party security research firm cited in this release. It is an independent platform built on the open-source Clawdbot codebase. The open-source project remains free at github.com/openclaw/openclaw.
Pricing starts with a free tier. Paid plans include dedicated compute, priority security patching, and uptime monitoring. Deploy a secure OpenClaw instance at https://openclawd.ai.

The Man Behind New York City’s Luxury Revival: How Ilya Zavolun Is Elevating the City’s Event Scene
NEW YORK, NYOnce a symbol of Manhattan’s architectural grandeur, Capitale is once again placing New York City at the forefront of luxury hospitality for a global audience.
Once a symbol of Manhattan’s architectural grandeur, Capitale is once again placing New York City at the forefront of luxury hospitality for a global audience.
NEW YORK, NY
As the eyes of the world turned to New York City during the FIFA World Cup, one venue emerged as the defining symbol of the city’s return as the global capital of luxury hospitality. Capitale, the iconic landmark housed within the former Bowery Savings Bank at 130 Bowery, hosted FIFA’s prestigious gala dinner, welcoming world leaders, international dignitaries, and distinguished guests for an unforgettable evening that showcased New York at its absolute finest.
For hospitality entrepreneur and Capitale visionary Ilya Zavolun, the evening represented something much larger than a successful event—it marked a turning point for New York City.

“Ask me what changed my mind about what this city is capable of, and I’ll point to this summer,” said Zavolun. “The world came to New York with genuine expectation, and when FIFA chose Capitale for its gala dinner, I watched guests from every corner of the globe experience something truly extraordinary. They weren’t simply impressed by the architecture—they felt they were somewhere that mattered.”
Housed inside one of Manhattan’s most celebrated architectural landmarks, Capitale combines historic grandeur with modern hospitality, offering an experience that few venues in the world can replicate. Rather than competing on convenience, Zavolun believes New York has an opportunity to once again become synonymous with elegance, craftsmanship, and unforgettable experiences.
“Somewhere along the way, New York started competing on convenience instead of grandeur,” Zavolun said. “This summer proved that the appetite for extraordinary experiences never disappeared. The world still wants New York to be magnificent. We simply stopped offering it. My mission isn’t about nostalgia—it’s about restoring the standard.”
The FIFA gala demonstrated the philosophy that has become the foundation of Capitale’s approach to hospitality: true luxury is found in intentionality.
“Capitale is more than a venue—it’s a piece of New York City’s history,” said Zavolun. “Our responsibility is to honor that legacy while creating experiences that feel timeless. True luxury isn’t measured by extravagance; it’s measured by how every guest feels the moment they walk through our doors. When people leave remembering how they were treated, not just what they attended, we’ve done our job.”
Every event hosted at Capitale is designed around the story each client wants to tell. Whether welcoming international organizations, corporate leaders, philanthropists, or families celebrating life’s most meaningful milestones, the venue emphasizes thoughtful curation over extravagance.
“True luxury isn’t about excess—it’s about intention,” Zavolun said. “Every event should have a purpose beyond celebration. When you understand the story you’re trying to tell, every element comes together to create an experience people remember long after the evening ends.”
Zavolun’s entrepreneurial journey spans decades, beginning with building and successfully selling a technology company before entering the hospitality industry. His experience taught him that exceptional venues are built not only through architecture but through people.
“Reputation compounds slowly and disappears quickly,” he said. “You earn it one event at a time. The building is remarkable, but it’s our team that creates the experience. Guests always know the difference between people who simply work somewhere and people who genuinely take pride in what they do.”’
Looking ahead, Zavolun believes New York has an extraordinary opportunity following the international attention generated this summer.
“The cameras may have moved on, but this is only the beginning,” he said. “I want people to return to New York not simply for business or sporting events, but because nowhere else in the world offers hospitality, culture, architecture, and elegance quite like this city. If we inspire a new generation of hospitality leaders to pursue excellence instead of convenience, everyone benefits.”
As New York continues welcoming international visitors, investors, and luxury travelers, Capitale remains at the forefront of a renewed movement toward timeless elegance, exceptional service, and world-class hospitality. Through landmark events and unforgettable guest experiences, the venue continues to demonstrate why New York remains one of the world’s premier destinations for luxury gatherings.
About Capitale
Located in the heart of Manhattan at 130 Bowery, Capitale is one of New York City’s most iconic luxury event venues, housed within the historic former Bowery Savings Bank. Renowned for its breathtaking architecture, soaring ceilings, marble interiors, and timeless elegance, Capitale serves as the backdrop for prestigious galas, corporate events, private celebrations, charity fundraisers, luxury weddings, and international gatherings. From hosting globally recognized organizations to welcoming distinguished guests from around the world, Capitale has earned a reputation for delivering exceptional hospitality and unforgettable experiences. With a commitment to excellence and meticulous attention to detail, Capitale continues to elevate New York City’s standing as a premier destination for luxury events on both the national and international stage.

Cosmopolitan Food Group Expands Packaged Olive Oil Export Focus

IZMIR, Türkiye
Cosmopolitan Food Group, an international food company operating through Türkiye and the United States, announced an expanded focus on packaged olive oil exports as part of its broader international growth strategy. The company, led by chief executive officer Sinan Bozdağ, is directing resources toward branded, retail-ready olive oil in an effort to move Turkish-origin products beyond bulk commodity trade.

The strategy centers on packaged olive oil, a category the company considers strategically important for Türkiye’s food industry because it allows producers to build higher value through branding, packaging and traceability rather than volume alone. Cosmopolitan Food Group supports this model through a portfolio of olive oil and Mediterranean food brands that includes Palermo, Papa Palermo, Casa di Oliva, Olivitaly and Cordelio.
Founded in the United States in 2009, Cosmopolitan Food Group initially concentrated on olive oil sales and distribution before developing a wider international supply structure. The group later expanded its operations in Türkiye, connecting sourcing, production and export activity with retail and foodservice demand abroad. That development reflects a growing role for Turkish companies in branded food exports, particularly in markets where Mediterranean products continue to gain shelf presence.
Under Bozdağ’s direction, the company has built an operating structure designed to support both brand ownership and distribution capability. Its United States operations provide access to retail and food-industry channels, while its Türkiye-based activity maintains close relationships with producers and suppliers. According to the company, this model helps position Turkish-origin products in international markets with an emphasis on consistency, packaging standards and long-term supply reliability.
“Packaged olive oil exports matter not only for company growth, but for the way Turkish food products are represented in international markets,” said Sinan Bozdağ, chief executive officer of Cosmopolitan Food Group. “The objective is to keep building reliable brands, disciplined supply systems and stronger visibility for Mediterranean products that originate from Tükiye.”
The company’s product range extends beyond olive oil to include balsamic vinegar, honey, salt and seasoning products, sun dried tomatoes, capers, sauces, olives, spreads and preserves. This breadth allows the group to serve different segments of the international grocery and foodservice market while keeping olive oil at the center of its export identity.
The company frames packaged exports as a way to keep more value within Türkiye’s food supply chain. Rather than shipping unbranded product for others to bottle and label abroad, branded exports keep packaging, quality control and brand equity closer to the producer. According to the company, this approach also supports more predictable demand planning for the suppliers it works with and a clearer link between production standards and the final product on the shelf.
The renewed focus also reflects a wider shift in the olive oil sector. As international buyers place more weight on origin, quality, packaging and brand identity, exporters are increasingly expected to offer more than volume based supply. For Turkish producers, the company notes, this creates an opportunity to compete through product presentation, retail readiness and brand recognition rather than price alone.
Türkiye is recognized as one of the major olive and olive oil producing countries in the Mediterranean region, yet the packaged export segment remains an area with room for further development.
By prioritizing branded exports, the company aims to support an approach in which Turkish origin products compete more visibly on international shelves. Further information on the company’s brand portfolio is available online.
Cosmopolitan Food Group stated that its continued focus will remain on expanding packaged food exports, strengthening supplier relationships and increasing brand recognition in global markets, combining Turkish sourcing capability with international sales and distribution experience. Additional background is available on the company website.
