This is an academic research paper (not an active exploit) introducing SafeClawArena, a benchmark that systematically measures security failures in always-on 'Claw-like' agents such as OpenClaw, which hold persistent credentials, files, and tool access. The findings show alarmingly high attack success rates (up to 70%, and 100% for malicious plugins), indicating that current agent platforms lack the isolation and mediation protections found in traditional OS design. Because this is a controlled research disclosure rather than an in-the-wild attack, severity is rated high (not critical) but warrants urgent defensive attention given the demonstrated real-world exploitability.
