Can you speak a little bit more to the stats in the OP?

* 135k+ OpenClaw instances are publicly exposed

* 63% of those run zero authentication. Meaning the "low privilege required" in the CVE = literally anyone on the internet can request pairing access and start the exploit chain

Is this accurate? This is definitely a very different picture then the one you paint

That’s surprising, as the OpenClaw installation makes it pretty difficult to run without auth and explicit device pairing (I don’t even know if that’s possible).

Honestly that seems like total guesswork. There's a lot of FUD going around, or people running portscans and assuming just because they detect a gateway on a port, that they can connect to it. That’s not the case.
