ChainCatcher message, Yu Xian, founder of SlowMist, posted on the X platform: "I don’t trust the stability or resilience of OpenClaw, but I am quite confident in Claude Code, which is one of the core goals of software engineering. In terms of security emphasis, both companies place a high priority on security, and the vulnerabilities submitted have received very timely feedback. Some OpenClaw forks or reference versions are much less proactive about security.

Regarding security scenarios, although OpenClaw has Sandbox mechanisms and attempts to design more granular permissions for tools, as its name ‘OpenClaw’ suggests, openness is its greatest charm. A restrained OpenClaw is no longer OpenClaw. People want it to be free but also controllable, which is a dilemma. However, in real production environments, overly free OpenClaw can easily go out of control."
