  2. No spam.

  3. Posts here are to be centered around self-hosting. Please ensure it is clear in your post how it relates to self-hosting.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title.

  6. No trolling.

Yeah, great, except the bot can literally just write whatever it wants to the config file ~/.openclaw/exec-approvals.json and give itself approval to execute bash commands.

There's probably a hundred trivial ways to get around these permissions and approval requirements. I've played around with this bot and also opencode, and have witnessed opencode bypass permissions in real time by just coming up with a different way to do the thing it is wanting to do.

This is where tools like bubblewrap (bwrap) come in. For opencode, I heavily limit what it can see and what is has access to. No access to my ssh keys or aws credentials or anything else.

Yes, that is what you do. But not what the majority does… heck it even asks if it can get access to 1password
