Warning: OpenClaw Gateway has a high-risk vulnerability. Please upgrade to version 2026.2.25 or later immediately.
PANews reported on March 2nd that the GoPlus Chinese community issued a warning about a high-risk vulnerability in the OpenClaw Gateway. Users are urged to immediately upgrade to version 2026.2.25 or higher and audit and revoke any unnecessary credentials, API keys, and node permissions granted to Agent instances. The analysis states that OpenClaw operates through a WebSocket Gateway bound to the local host. This Gateway, as the core coordination layer for the Agent, is a crucial component of OpenClaw. This attack targets a weakness in the Gateway layer, requiring only one condition: the user visits a malicious website controlled by the hacker in their browser.
The complete attack chain is as follows:
- 1. The victim accessed a malicious website controlled by the attacker in their browser;
- 2. The JavaScript in the page initiates a WebSocket connection to the OpenClaw gateway on the local host;
- 3. Subsequently, the attack script attempts to brute-force the gateway password hundreds of times per second;
- 4. After successful cracking, the attack script silently registers as a trusted device;
- 5. The attacker gains administrator-level control over the Agent;

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach
The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation. UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter. The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy. Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider. Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
