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 2026.3.24 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 2026.3.31 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 2026.3.24 contains missing authorization vulnerabilities in the /send and /allowlist chat command handlers. The /send command allows non-owner command-authorized senders to change owner-only session delivery policy settings, and the /allowlist mutating commands fail to enforce operator.admin scope. Attackers with operator.write scope can invoke /send on|off|inherit to persistently mutate the current session's sendPolicy, and execute /allowlist add commands to modify config-backed allowFrom entries and pairing-store allowlist entries without proper admin authorization.

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 2026.4.14 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.

The Filr WordPress plugin before 1.2.2.1 does not have authorisation check in two of its AJAX actions, allowing them to be called by any authenticated users, such as subscriber. They are are protected with a nonce, however the nonce is leaked on the dashboard. This could allow them to upload arbitrary HTML files as well as delete all files or arbitrary ones.

Improper access control in the CI/CD cache mechanism in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 1.0.2 before 14.8.6, all versions from 14.9.0 before 14.9.4, and all versions from 14.10.0 before 14.10.1 allows a malicious actor with Developer privileges to perform cache poisoning leading to arbitrary code execution in protected branches

The WP Human Resource Management plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation due to missing authorization in the ajax_insert_employee() and update_empoyee() functions in versions 2.0.0 through 2.2.17. The AJAX handler reads the client-supplied $_POST['role'] and, after basic cleaning via hrm_clean(), passes it directly to wp_insert_user() and later to $user->set_role() without verifying that the current user is allowed to assign that role. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Employee-level access and above, to elevate their privileges to administrator.

Missing authorization checks in the Backend Routing of TYPO3 CMS versions 9.0.0‑9.5.54, 10.0.0‑10.4.53, 11.0.0‑11.5.47, 12.0.0‑12.4.36, and 13.0.0‑13.4.17 allow backend users to directly invoke AJAX backend routes without having access to the corresponding backend modules.

The Droip plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification and access of data due to a missing capability check on the droip_post_apis() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.6. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to perform many actions as the AJAX hooks to several functions. Some potential impacts include arbitrary post deletion, arbitrary post creation, post duplication, settings update, user manipulation, and much more.

Missing Authorization in Packagist snipe/snipe-it prior to 5.3.11.

Missing authorization in Ivanti Connect Secure before 22.7R2.9 or 22.8R2, Ivanti Policy Secure before 22.7R1.6, Ivanti ZTA Gateway before 2.8R2.3-723 and Ivanti Neurons for Secure Access before 22.8R1.4 (Fix deployed on 02-Aug-2025) allows a remote authenticated attacker with read-only admin privileges to configure authentication related settings.

The HyperComments plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the hc_request_handler function in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update arbitrary options on the WordPress site. This can be leveraged to update the default role for registration to administrator and enable user registration for attackers to gain administrative user access to a vulnerable site.

Lack of server-side authorisation on department admin assignment APIs in AiKaan IoT Platform allows authenticated users to elevate their privileges by assigning themselves as admins of other departments. This results in unauthorized privilege escalation across the department

The Essential Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to and including 4.6.4 due to a lack of restrictions on who can add a registration form and a custom registration role to an Elementor created page. This makes it possible for attackers with access to the Elementor page builder to create a new registration form that defaults to the user role being set to administrator and subsequently register as an administrative user.

SAP GRC Access Control - versions V1100_700, V1100_731, V1200_750, does not perform necessary authorization checks for an authenticated user, which could lead to escalation of privileges.

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. Any user with edit right on any page can perform arbitrary remote code execution by adding instances of `XWiki.SearchSuggestConfig` and `XWiki.SearchSuggestSourceClass` to their user profile or any other page. This compromises the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole XWiki installation. This vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 14.10.21, 15.5.5 and 15.10.2.

Sixteen XforWooCommerce Add-On Plugins for WordPress are vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the wp_ajax_svx_ajax_factory function in various versions listed below. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to read, edit, or delete WordPress settings, plugin settings, and to arbitrarily list all users on a WordPress website. The plugins impacted are: Product Filter for WooCommerce < 8.2.0, Improved Product Options for WooCommerce < 5.3.0, Improved Sale Badges for WooCommerce < 4.4.0, Share, Print and PDF Products for WooCommerce < 2.8.0, Product Loops for WooCommerce < 1.7.0, XforWooCommerce < 1.7.0, Package Quantity Discount < 1.2.0, Price Commander for WooCommerce < 1.3.0, Comment and Review Spam Control for WooCommerce < 1.5.0, Add Product Tabs for WooCommerce < 1.5.0, Autopilot SEO for WooCommerce < 1.6.0, Floating Cart < 1.3.0, Live Search for WooCommerce < 2.1.0, Bulk Add to Cart for WooCommerce < 1.3.0, Live Product Editor for WooCommerce < 4.7.0, and Warranties and Returns for WooCommerce < 5.3.0.

The Visualizer: Tables and Charts Manager for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification and retrieval of data due to a missing capability check on the getQueryData() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.10.15. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to perform arbitrary SQL queries that can be leveraged for privilege escalation among many other actions.

ARCHIBUS Web Central 21.3.3.815 (a version from 2014) does not properly validate requests for access to data and functionality in these affected endpoints: /archibus/schema/ab-edit-users.axvw, /archibus/schema/ab-data-dictionary-table.axvw, /archibus/schema/ab-schema-add-field.axvw, /archibus/schema/ab-core/views/process-navigator/ab-my-user-profile.axvw. By not verifying the permissions for access to resources, it allows a potential attacker to view pages that are not allowed. Specifically, it was found that any authenticated user can reach the administrative console for user management by directly requesting access to the page via URL. This allows a malicious user to modify all users' profiles, to elevate any privileges to administrative ones, or to create or delete any type of user. It is also possible to modify the emails of other users, through a misconfiguration of the username parameter, on the user profile page. This is fixed in all recent versions, such as version 26. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer. Version 21.3 was officially de-supported by the end of 2020
