Does OpenClaw really have 591 security advisories — more than all of Rust?

OSV lists exactly 591 advisories for npm openclaw in 2026, more than Rust on the same GHSA cut (536 in 2026; the post's OSV crates.io figure was 483). The GitHub repo's own published-advisory list is larger (722) because it is a different scope.

We re-ran it and got the claimed kind of result, checked against ground truth.

How we checked it

OSV and GitHub API responses saved under runs/2026-10-27/openclaw-security-advisories-count/. Answer key written before the run.

What the agent did

1. OSV.dev: npm package openclaw → 591 vulns (all with 2026 published field)
2. GitHub API: openclaw/openclaw security-advisories → 722 published (8 pages)
3. GitHub Advisory Database: ecosystem=rust, published in 2026 → 536
4. Confirmed repo openclaw/openclaw and npm name openclaw

Sites and APIs touched: osv.dev, api.github.com, github.com/openclaw/openclaw.

Where it went wrong

• GitHub repo security-advisories (722) is not the same metric as OSV npm (591); readers should not mix them.
• 'All of Rust' can mean crates.io OSV or GHSA ecosystem=rust; we checked both and both sit below 591.

Try it yourself

How many security advisories does the OpenClaw npm package have in 2026, and how does that compare to all of Rust (crates.io)? Cite OSV.dev or GitHub Advisory Database.

Lowest-access way to try it

L0. Ask the agent to query OSV for the exact package and ecosystem, and to say which Rust count it used (OSV crates.io vs GHSA).

Method

Queried OSV for every vulnerability on the npm package openclaw, paged the GitHub repo security-advisories list for openclaw/openclaw, and counted 2026 GitHub Advisory Database entries for ecosystem=rust. Compared each number with the post.
