OpenClaw before 2026.5.19 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in message read actions that skips channel allowlist checks. Lower-trust callers can request messages from channels not intended for them by exploiting insufficient validation in the affected feature, potentially exposing sensitive channel messages.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.24 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the MCP loopback feature that allows non-owner callers to skip owner-only tool policies and before-tool-call hooks. Attackers can invoke owner-only behavior through the affected loopback path to execute restricted tools when the feature is enabled and reachable.

OpenClaw before 2026.5.18 contains an insufficient provenance validation vulnerability in node event handling that allows paired nodes to forge exec lifecycle events without system.run authorization. A malicious or compromised paired node can send crafted node.event messages to the gateway, steering target sessions into exec-event paths that expose capabilities the reduced node surface should not provide.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.22 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the Control UI bootstrap config endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to read sensitive configuration fields. Attackers can access the bootstrap config route without a valid Gateway token to expose sensitive bootstrap and config information intended only for authenticated Control UI sessions.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.20 contains a guard bypass vulnerability in the agent-facing gateway config.patch and config.apply endpoints that fails to protect operator-trusted settings including sandbox policy, plugin enablement, gateway auth/TLS, hook routing, MCP server configuration, SSRF policy, and filesystem hardening. A prompt-injected model with access to the owner-only gateway tool can persist unauthorized changes to protected operator settings.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.10 contains an insufficient access control vulnerability in Nostr plugin HTTP profile routes that allows operators with write permissions to persist profile configuration without requiring admin authority. Attackers with operator.write scope can modify Nostr profile settings through unprotected mutation endpoints to gain unauthorized configuration persistence.

OpenClaw versions 2026.4.10 before 2026.4.14 contain a missing authorization vulnerability in the Microsoft Teams SSO invoke handler that fails to apply sender allowlist checks. Attackers can bypass sender authorization by sending SSO invoke requests that are processed without proper validation, allowing unauthorized access to Teams SSO signin functionality.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.9 contains a file read vulnerability allowing attackers to bypass navigation guards through browser act/evaluate interactions. Attackers can pivot into the local CDP origin and create or read disallowed file:// pages despite direct navigation policy restrictions.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.10 contains a server-side request forgery policy bypass vulnerability in the browser tabs action select and close routes. Attackers can bypass configured browser SSRF policy protections by exploiting the /tabs/action endpoint to perform unauthorized tab navigation operations.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.10 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the screen_record tool's outPath parameter that bypasses workspace-only filesystem guards. Attackers can exploit this by specifying an outPath outside the workspace boundary to write files to unintended locations on the system.

OpenClaw versions 2026.4.5 before 2026.4.10 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability allowing write-scoped operators to modify persistent memory dreaming settings. Attackers with write-scoped gateway access can toggle admin-class configuration mutations through the /dreaming endpoint to escalate privileges.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.10 contains a server-side request forgery policy bypass vulnerability in existing-session browser interaction routes. Attackers can bypass SSRF navigation guards to interact with or navigate to unauthorized targets without policy enforcement.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.24 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability where the /allowlist command fails to re-validate gateway client scopes for internal callers, allowing operator.write-scoped clients to mutate channel authorization policy. Attackers can exploit chat.send to build an internal command-authorized context and persist channel allowFrom and groupAllowFrom policy changes reserved for operator.admin scope.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 fails to enforce controlScope restrictions on the send action, allowing leaf subagents to message controlled child sessions beyond their authorized scope. Attackers can exploit this by using the send action to communicate with child sessions without proper scope validation, bypassing intended access control restrictions.

OpenClaw before 2026.5.18 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in QQBot native approval buttons that fails to enforce configured approver identity. Non-approver users can click approval buttons to resolve pending exec or plugin approval requests without proper authorization.

OpenClaw versions 2026.2.21 before 2026.4.10 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the sandbox noVNC helper route that exposes interactive browser session credentials. Attackers can access the noVNC helper route without bridge authentication to gain unauthorized access to the interactive browser session.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.10 contains an incomplete navigation guard vulnerability that allows attackers to trigger navigation without complete SSRF policy enforcement. Browser press/type style interactions, including pressKey and type submit flows, can bypass post-action security checks to execute unauthorized navigation.

OpenClaw before 2026.5.4 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the bundled device-pair plugin that allows non-owner authorized chat senders to issue device-pairing bootstrap codes without proper scope validation. Attackers with chat command access can create setup codes to enroll devices with operator/node capabilities, granting persistent credentials until manual removal.

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. In versions 2026.2.17 and below, the Discord moderation action handling (timeout, kick, ban) uses sender identity from request parameters in tool-driven flows, instead of trusted runtime sender context. In setups where Discord moderation actions are enabled and the bot has the necessary guild permissions, a non-admin user can request moderation actions by spoofing sender identity fields. This issue has been fixed in version 2026.2.18.

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.12 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the WebSocket connect path that allows shared-token or password-authenticated connections to self-declare elevated scopes without server-side binding. Attackers can exploit this logic flaw to present unauthorized scopes such as operator.admin and perform admin-only gateway operations.

OpenClaw versions 2026.4.10 before 2026.4.14 fail to persist session context during delivery queue recovery for media replay. Attackers can exploit recovered queued outbound media to bypass group tool policy enforcement and weaken channel media restrictions after service restart or recovery.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.10 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability allowing operator.write message-tool paths to access Matrix profile persistence requiring admin-level authority. Attackers can exploit insufficient access controls to mutate persistent profile configuration through non-owner message-tool runs.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in Discord voice ingress that allows attackers to bypass channel and member allowlist restrictions. Attackers can exploit stale-role validation gaps and improper channel name validation to gain unauthorized access to restricted voice channels.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains an agentic consent bypass vulnerability allowing LLM agents to silently disable execution approval via config.patch parameter. Remote attackers can exploit this to bypass security controls and execute unauthorized operations without user consent.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.2 fails to enforce write scopes on the POST /sessions/:sessionKey/kill endpoint in identity-bearing HTTP modes. Read-scoped callers can terminate running subagent sessions by sending requests to this endpoint, bypassing authorization controls.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a remote code execution vulnerability where a device-paired node can bypass the node scope gate authentication mechanism. Attackers with device pairing credentials can execute arbitrary node commands on the host system without proper node pairing validation.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability where unauthenticated plugin-auth HTTP routes receive operator runtime write scopes. Attackers can access these routes without authentication to perform privileged runtime actions intended for authorized operators.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 fails to enforce operator.admin scope on mutating internal ACP chat commands, allowing unauthorized modifications. Attackers without admin privileges can execute mutating control-plane actions by directly invoking affected ACP commands to bypass authorization gates.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.23 contains an insufficient access control vulnerability in the Gateway agent /reset endpoint that allows callers with operator.write permission to reset admin sessions. Attackers with operator.write privileges can invoke /reset or /new messages with an explicit sessionKey to bypass operator.admin requirements and reset arbitrary sessions.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability allowing paired nodes with role=node to dispatch node.event agent requests with unrestricted gateway-side tool access. Attackers with trusted paired node credentials can escalate privileges by leveraging unrestricted agent.request dispatch to achieve remote code execution on the gateway.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.14 contains an improper access control vulnerability in browser snapshot, screenshot, and tab routes that fail to consistently validate the final browser target after navigation. Authenticated callers can bypass SSRF restrictions to expose internal or disallowed page content by exploiting route-driven navigation without proper policy re-validation.
