OpenClaw < 2026.3.22 - Privilege Escalation via device.pair.approve Scope Validation
OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the device.pair.approve method that allows an operator.pairing approver to approve pending device requests with broader operator scopes than the approver actually holds. Attackers can exploit insufficient scope validation to escalate privileges to operator.admin and achieve remote code execution on the Node infrastructure.
OpenClaw < 2026.3.22 - Privilege Escalation via Self-Declared Scopes in Trusted-Proxy Control UI
OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Control UI that allows unauthenticated sessions to retain self-declared privileged scopes without device identity verification. Attackers can exploit the device-less allow path in the trusted-proxy mechanism to maintain elevated permissions by declaring arbitrary scopes, bypassing device identity requirements.
OpenClaw < 2026.3.22 - Premature Cite Expansion Before Authorization in Channel and DM
OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 performs cite expansion before completing channel and DM authorization checks, allowing cite work and content handling prior to final auth decisions. Attackers can exploit this timing vulnerability to access or manipulate content before proper authorization validation occurs.
OpenClaw versions 2026.3.11 through 2026.3.24 contain a session isolation bypass vulnerability where session_status resolves sessionId to canonical session keys before enforcing visibility checks. Sandboxed child sessions can exploit this to access parent or sibling sessions that should be blocked by explicit sessionKey restrictions.
OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains a webhook path route replacement vulnerability in the Synology Chat extension that allows attackers to collapse multi-account configurations onto shared webhook paths. Attackers can exploit inherited or duplicate webhook paths to bypass per-account DM access control policies and replace route ownership across accounts.
OpenClaw < 2026.3.23 - Authentication Bypass via Local-Direct Requests in Canvas Gateway
OpenClaw before 2026.3.23 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the Canvas gateway where authorizeCanvasRequest() unconditionally allows local-direct requests without validating bearer tokens or canvas capabilities. Attackers can send unauthenticated loopback HTTP and WebSocket requests to Canvas routes to bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access.
OpenClaw < 2026.3.22 - Unbounded Memory Allocation via Remote Media Error Responses
OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains an unbounded memory allocation vulnerability in remote media HTTP error handling that allows attackers to trigger excessive memory consumption. Attackers can send crafted HTTP error responses with large bodies to remote media endpoints, causing the application to allocate unbounded memory before failure handling occurs.
OpenClaw <= 2026.2.22 - Symlink Traversal via IDENTITY.md appendFile in agents.create/update
OpenClaw through 2026.2.22 contains a symlink traversal vulnerability in agents.create and agents.update handlers that use fs.appendFile on IDENTITY.md without symlink containment checks. Attackers with workspace access can plant symlinks to append attacker-controlled content to arbitrary files, enabling remote code execution via crontab injection or unauthorized access via SSH key manipulation.
OpenClaw < 2026.3.25 - Server-Side Request Forgery via Unguarded Configured Base URLs in Channel Extensions
OpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in multiple channel extensions that fail to properly guard configured base URLs against SSRF attacks. Attackers can exploit unprotected fetch() calls against configured endpoints to rebind requests to blocked internal destinations and access restricted resources.
OpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains a missing rate limiting vulnerability in Telegram webhook authentication that allows attackers to brute-force weak webhook secrets. The vulnerability enables repeated authentication guesses without throttling, permitting attackers to systematically guess webhook secrets through brute-force attacks.
OpenClaw < 2026.3.22 - Unauthenticated Cryptographic Work in Nostr Inbound DM Handling
OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 performs cryptographic and dispatch operations on inbound Nostr direct messages before enforcing sender and pairing policy validation. Attackers can trigger unauthorized pre-authentication computation by sending crafted DM messages, enabling denial of service through resource exhaustion.
OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains an unauthenticated resource exhaustion vulnerability in voice call webhook handling that buffers request bodies before provider signature checks. Attackers can send large or malicious webhook requests to exhaust server resources without authentication by bypassing signature validation.
OpenClaw < 2026.3.25 - Privilege Escalation via Silent Local Shared-Auth Reconnect
OpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability where silent local shared-auth reconnects auto-approve scope-upgrade requests, widening paired device permissions from operator.read to operator.admin. Attackers can exploit this by triggering local reconnection to silently escalate privileges and achieve remote code execution on the node.
OpenClaw < 2026.3.22 - Policy Confusion via Room Name Collision in Nextcloud Talk
OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains a policy confusion vulnerability in room authorization that matches colliding room names instead of stable room tokens. Attackers can exploit similarly named rooms to bypass allowlist policies and gain unauthorized access to protected Nextcloud Talk rooms.
OpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains a missing rate limiting vulnerability in webhook authentication that allows attackers to brute-force weak webhook passwords without throttling. Remote attackers can repeatedly submit incorrect password guesses to the webhook endpoint to compromise authentication and gain unauthorized access.
OpenClaw < 2026.3.22 - Improper Authentication Verification in Google Chat Webhook
OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains an improper authentication verification vulnerability in Google Chat app-url webhook handling that accepts add-on principals outside intended deployment bindings. Attackers can bypass webhook authentication by providing non-deployment add-on principals to execute unauthorized actions through the Google Chat integration.
OpenClaw < 2026.3.23 - Replay Identity Drift via Query-Only Variants in Plivo V2 Verification
OpenClaw before 2026.3.23 contains a replay identity vulnerability in Plivo V2 signature verification that allows attackers to bypass replay protection by modifying query parameters. The verification path derives replay keys from the full URL including query strings instead of the canonicalized base URL, enabling attackers to mint new verified request keys through unsigned query-only changes to signed requests.
OpenClaw < 2026.3.25 - Authorization Bypass via Group Policy Rebinding with Mutable Space displayName
OpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in Google Chat group policy enforcement that relies on mutable space display names. Attackers can rebind group policies by changing or colliding space display names to gain unauthorized access to protected resources.
OpenClaw < 2026.3.25 - Improper Access Control in /sessions/:sessionKey/kill Endpoint
OpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains an improper access control vulnerability in the HTTP /sessions/:sessionKey/kill route that allows any bearer-authenticated user to invoke admin-level session termination functions without proper scope validation. Attackers can exploit this by sending authenticated requests to kill arbitrary subagent sessions via the killSubagentRunAdmin function, bypassing ownership and operator scope restrictions.
