OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains an allowlist bypass vulnerability in Matrix thread root and reply context handling that fails to properly validate message senders. Attackers can fetch thread-root and reply context messages that should be filtered by sender allowlists, bypassing access controls.
OpenClaw < 2026.3.28 - Authorization Bypass in /phone arm and /phone disarm Endpoints
OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the /phone arm and /phone disarm endpoints that fails to properly enforce operator.admin scope checks for external channels. Attackers can bypass authentication restrictions to arm or disarm phone channels without proper administrative privileges.
OpenClaw < 2026.3.31 - Resource Consumption via Discord Audio Preflight Before Member Authorization
OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 performs Discord audio preflight transcription before validating member authorization, allowing unauthenticated attackers to consume resources. Remote attackers can trigger audio preflight processing without member allowlist validation to cause resource exhaustion.
OpenClaw < 2026.3.31 - Compiler Binary Substitution via Environment Variable Override in Host Execution Policy
OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains an incomplete host-env-security-policy.json that fails to restrict compiler binary environment variables, allowing untrusted models to substitute CC, CXX, CARGO_BUILD_RUSTC, and CMAKE_C_COMPILER via environment overrides. Attackers with approved host-exec requests can override compiler binaries to execute arbitrary code during build processes.
OpenClaw < 2026.4.2 - Loopback Protection Bypass via Trailing-Dot Localhost in CDP Discovery
OpenClaw before 2026.4.2 fails to normalize trailing-dot localhost hosts in remote CDP discovery responses, allowing bypass of loopback protections. Attackers can craft hostile discovery responses returning localhost. to retarget authenticated browser control toward localhost endpoints and expose browser state.
OpenClaw < 2026.3.28 - Privilege Escalation via chat.send Reset Command
OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in chat.send that allows write-scoped gateway callers to trigger admin-only session reset operations. Attackers can rotate target sessions, archive prior transcript state, and force new session IDs without requiring admin scope by exploiting improper authorization checks in the chat.send path.
OpenClaw < 2026.3.31 - Path Traversal via Inbound Channel Attachment Path in ACP Dispatch
OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a path traversal vulnerability in ACP dispatch that allows attackers to read arbitrary files by manipulating inbound channel attachment paths. Remote attackers can bypass attachment-cache and root directory checks to access files outside intended directories.
OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains insufficient environment variable sanitization in host exec operations, failing to filter package, registry, Docker, compiler, and TLS override variables. Attackers can exploit this by injecting malicious environment variables to override critical system configurations and compromise host execution integrity.
OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains an environment variable disclosure vulnerability in the jq safe-bin policy that fails to block the $ENV filter. Attackers can bypass safe-bin restrictions by using $ENV in jq programs to access sensitive environment variables that should be restricted.
OpenClaw versions 2026.2.14 through 2026.3.24 fail to consistently apply guild and channel policy gates to Discord button and component interactions. Attackers can trigger privileged component actions from blocked contexts by bypassing channel policy enforcement.
OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a local roots self-whitelisting vulnerability in appendLocalMediaParentRoots that allows model-initiated arbitrary host file read. Attackers can exploit improper media parent directory validation to exfiltrate credentials and access sensitive files.
OpenClaw < 2026.3.31 - Sender Allowlist Bypass via Graph API Thread History
OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a sender allowlist bypass vulnerability in MS Teams thread history fetched via Graph API. Attackers can retrieve thread messages that should be filtered by sender allowlists, bypassing message filtering restrictions.
OpenClaw < 2026.3.31 - Arbitrary File Write via Symlink Following in SSH Sandbox Tar Upload
OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a symlink following vulnerability in SSH sandbox tar upload that allows remote attackers to write arbitrary files. Attackers can exploit this by uploading tar archives containing symlinks to escape the sandbox and overwrite files on the remote host.
OpenClaw versions 2026.2.6 through 2026.3.24 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the Feishu extension resolveUploadInput function that bypasses file-system sandbox restrictions. Attackers can exploit improper path resolution during upload_image operations to read arbitrary files outside configured localRoots boundaries.
OpenClaw 2026.2.19 through 2026.3.30 - Webhook Replay Dedupe Cache Event Suppression via Shared Authentication
OpenClaw versions 2026.2.19 before 2026.3.31 contain an improper cache isolation vulnerability in the Zalo webhook replay-dedupe mechanism that is shared across authenticated webhook targets. Attackers controlling one authenticated Zalo webhook path in multi-account deployments can suppress legitimate events on different accounts by matching event_name and message_id parameters.
OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains an SSRF guard bypass vulnerability that fails to block four IPv6 special-use ranges. Attackers can exploit this by crafting URLs targeting internal or non-routable IPv6 addresses to bypass SSRF protections.
OpenClaw < 2026.4.2 - Approval Integrity Bypass in pnpm dlx Local Script Binding
OpenClaw before 2026.4.2 contains an approval integrity vulnerability in pnpm dlx that fails to bind local script operands consistently with pnpm exec flows. Attackers can replace approved local scripts before execution without invalidating the approval plan, allowing execution of modified script contents.
OpenClaw < 2026.3.28 - Privilege Escalation via operator.write to Admin-Class Telegram Config and Cron Persistence
OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability allowing authenticated operators with write permissions to access admin-class Telegram configuration and cron persistence settings via the send endpoint. Attackers with operator.write credentials can exploit insufficient access controls to reach sensitive administrative functionality and modify persistence mechanisms.
OpenClaw before 2026.4.2 fails to filter Slack thread context by sender allowlist, allowing non-allowlisted messages to enter agent context. Attackers can inject unauthorized thread messages through allowlisted user replies to bypass sender access controls and manipulate model context.
OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains an environment variable leakage vulnerability in SSH-based sandbox backends that pass unsanitized process.env to child processes. Attackers can exploit this by leveraging non-default SSH environment forwarding configurations to leak sensitive environment variables from parent processes to SSH child processes.
