ClawHavoc
ClawHavoc is a malware distribution campaign associated with abuse of the OpenClaw AI agent ecosystem, specifically leveraging community “skills” content and documentation to socially engineer users into executing malicious actions. Reporting links ClawHavoc to infrastructure (notably 91.92.242.30) used to deliver payloads and notes that the actor previously used instructions embedded in skill documents to convince users to run a downloaded “agent” or paste Terminal commands, resulting in installation of Windows or macOS malware. The OpenClaw skills architecture—where community-developed skills run with full access to the agent’s tools and data—was cited as an architectural property exploited by ClawHavoc. In related observed activity targeting ClawHub (the OpenClaw skills repository), attackers posted malicious “troubleshooting” comments containing Base64-encoded commands that, when decoded, download a shellcode loader from 91.92.242.30, remove macOS quarantine attributes, and deliver/execute the Atomic macOS (AMOS) infostealer; this activity evaded ClawHub’s VirusTotal-based scanning because scanning covered skill packages rather than user comments. Malicious comments were observed under popular skills (e.g., Trello, Slack, Gog).

A malware distribution campaign previously associated with the same download IP, using social engineering (instructions in skill documents) to get users to run commands or an “agent” that results in Windows/macOS malware execution.
Named threat/technique used to exploit OpenClaw’s community “skills” architecture, leveraging the agent’s privileged access to tools/data; described in the context of prompt-injection/natural-language instructions that evade signature-based malware scanning.
