AI Agent Security Alert: Xi’an Boao Smart Application Blocks 236 Cyber Attacks — WAF Defense in Focus
From OpenClaw to Hermes Agent, AI agents are sweeping across the globe at an unprecedented pace. As a next-generation AI assistant framework, OpenClaw has attracted numerous developers and enterprises with its powerful task execution capabilities and open plugin ecosystem. However, as enterprises rapidly adopt AI agent technologies, security threats are quietly surging—data leaks, API abuse, and malicious prompt injection are becoming increasingly common.
AI Agent Solutions: Security Blind Spots Behind the Convenience
As frameworks like OpenClaw and Hermes Agent are widely deployed, the security threats they face are growing:
- Plugin Supply Chain Risks: Third-party plugins may carry malicious code
- Exposed API Endpoints: Unauthorized access can lead to data breaches
- Prompt Injection Attacks: Malicious instructions can manipulate AI behavior
- Session Data Theft: Attackers use XSS, CSRF, and other techniques to steal sensitive information
Xi’an Boao Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. understands this challenge clearly: In the AI era, security is the bottom line. We are committed to providing our customers with AI solutions built on a foundation of robust security, ensuring technological innovation goes hand in hand with safety assurance.
Real-World Data: 236 Attacks Blocked in a Single Day
On April 22, 2026, Xi’an Boao’s smart application security system passed a real-world stress test:
| Security Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Total Attack Requests Blocked | 236 |
| Malicious IPs Banned | 6 |
| Scanning Attempts Blocked | 2,082 |
Attack Source Analysis
The 6 banned attack IPs are distributed geographically as follows:
| Origin | IP Count | Share |
|---|---|---|
| United States | 4 | 67% |
| Hong Kong | 1 | 17% |
| Belgium | 1 | 17% |
Case Study: Attack Behavior Analysis
Case 1: US IP Range Sustained Scanning Four IPs from the United States conducted continuous directory traversal scans on our platform, attempting to probe sensitive server paths. Success could lead to:
- Source code and configuration file leaks
- Database connection information exposure
- Further intrusion and data theft
Case 2: Struts2 Exploitation Attempt Attackers were detected attempting to exploit historical vulnerabilities (CVE-2017-5638 and others) against our servers. Successful exploitation could result in remote code execution, giving attackers full server control.
Case 3: Anomalous Access from Hong Kong and Belgium These two IPs displayed clear reconnaissance behavior patterns, collecting website structure information to prepare for subsequent attacks.
Xi’an Boao Security Architecture
Xi’an Boao’s smart application is protected by a multi-layered security architecture:
- Web Application Firewall (WAF): Intelligently identifies and blocks SQL injection, XSS cross-site scripting, path traversal, and other common attacks
- Active Defense System: Real-time detection and blocking of anomalous access patterns based on behavioral analysis
- Malicious Crawler Blocking: Effectively prevents data theft attempts by malicious bots
- Scan Defense: Precise blocking of automated scanning tools
Security is the Cornerstone of AI Applications
As AI technology advances rapidly, Xi’an Boao always regards security as the cornerstone of technological application. Our security solutions serve not only our own platform but also help customers build secure and reliable AI application environments.
Looking ahead, Xi’an Boao will continue to deepen its expertise in AI security, delivering practical, intelligent, and visible security protection capabilities to safeguard digital transformation.
