Security Policy

OpenBot runs AI agents that can browse the web, write files and (with your approval) run shell commands on your machine.

Built-in protections

  • The server binds to 127.0.0.1 by default and has no authentication. Do not expose it to the internet without putting auth in front.
  • Each bot works in its own workspace folder. On macOS, shell commands run inside a Seatbelt sandbox that blocks writes outside that folder.
  • Risky tools (shell, HTTP requests, routines, deletes) default to Ask, which means a human approves each call.
  • Commands touching passwords, the keychain, sudo or disk erasure are always blocked.

Reporting a vulnerability
