CVSS v3.1 |
| OpenClaw versions before 2026.8.1 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the tools.fs.workspaceOnly feature where Unicode filename fallback can normalize validated parent directory components. Admitted requesters can exploit canonically equivalent sibling directories to read files outside the configured workspace boundary. |
| OpenClaw versions before 2026.8.1 contain an authorization scope widening vulnerability in file-transfer allow-always approvals that allows attackers to reuse standing grants for unreviewed paths. Attackers can exploit glob metacharacter interpretation and node display name reuse to access sibling paths or different nodes beyond the operator's original approval scope. |
| OpenClaw (npm package 'openclaw') before 2026.8.1 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in its trusted-host DNS checks. For fetches that use the trusted-host DNS recheck, a trusted hostname that resolves to an unspecified address (0.0.0.0 or ::) bypasses the SSRF destination validation. An attacker who can influence DNS for an allowed hostname can therefore cause a guarded fetch to reach a service bound only to loopback and disclose its response; the practical impact depends on the reachable service and the data it returns. Fixed in 2026.8.1. |
| OpenClaw (npm package 'openclaw') versions >= 2026.3.28 and < 2026.8.1 allow an untrusted workspace .env file to set the CLOUDSDK_PYTHON_ARGS environment variable. When an operator starts OpenClaw in attacker-controlled workspace content and then runs the Gmail setup flow, that value is inherited when gcloud is launched, and the gcloud launcher passes it as arguments to the trusted Python interpreter. A crafted CLOUDSDK_PYTHON_ARGS value can therefore cause Python to execute attacker-supplied code with the OpenClaw host user's permissions, allowing credentials to be read, files to be modified, or other processes to be started. This issue is fixed in version 2026.8.1; as a workaround, run Gmail setup only from trusted workspaces and clear inherited CLOUDSDK_* variables beforehand. |
| OpenClaw (npm package 'openclaw') versions >= 2026.3.22 and < 2026.8.1 contain an approval-bypass flaw in the exec approval policy: the policy could trust a command-running wrapper without inspecting the command carried in its arguments. After an operator allowlisted or permanently approved a benign wrapper invocation, a later agent turn could substitute an arbitrary inner command and execute it with the OpenClaw process's host privileges without a further approval prompt. Exploitation requires the relevant wrapper to resolve on the host and a prior operator decision allowing that wrapper. Transparent shell carriers and opaque utilities such as process monitors, tracers, namespace tools, and proxy wrappers were affected through related trust-resolution gaps. Fixed in 2026.8.1. |
| OpenClaw versions before 2026.8.1 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in skill tool dispatch that fails to carry the sender's owner status. Non-owner senders authorized to invoke skill commands can access owner-only tools and server credentials reserved for owners. |
| OpenClaw versions >= 2026.6.9 and < 2026.8.1 do not declare the native chatId parameter as a delivery target in the Feishu unpin feature, so unpin requests can bypass the shared same-provider cross-context target check. When tools.message.crossContext.allowWithinProvider is disabled, an admitted (authenticated) sender can remove a pin from another Feishu group that the sender and the configured account are otherwise permitted to access, bypassing the intended cross-context message mutation policy. Feishu membership and group authorization still apply, and the demonstrated impact is limited to message mutation (pin removal). The issue is fixed in 2026.8.1. |
| OpenClaw versions before 2026.8.1 contain a path traversal vulnerability in QQBot voice attachment handling where filenames are decoded twice, allowing encoded traversal segments to reappear after sanitization. Attackers can supply crafted voice attachments that write files outside the intended staging directory to other process-writable locations. |
| OpenClaw (npm package `openclaw`) before 2026.8.1 incorrectly enforces sender tool policies during session-memory filename generation. In affected versions, filename generation created an embedded helper that retained tools which the originating sender's policy had removed. When session-memory filename generation was enabled for an agent reachable by lower-trust senders, model-mediated instructions could cause the helper to invoke tools outside that sender's effective policy; the demonstrated impact was the creation of persistent scheduled work. Exploitability depends on the model acting on the injected instruction and on which tools the helper exposes. The issue is fixed in 2026.8.1; as a workaround, disable session-memory filename generation for agents reachable by lower-trust senders. |
| OpenClaw (npm package openclaw) before 2026.7.1 incorrectly binds Signal approval reactions. In affected versions, a reaction intended to resolve a structured approval request could instead attach to ordinary outbound text when unrelated outbound messages and a pending approval are present in the same conversation. As a result, an approver's reaction to unrelated text could be interpreted as approving or denying a pending host action; the practical impact depends on the pending request, conversation timing, and the actions available to the OpenClaw process. The issue does not change the authority of correctly identified approvers. This is fixed in version 2026.7.1. |
| OpenClaw versions before 2026.7.1 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the /export-trajectory endpoint that allows non-owner senders to request and receive owner-only trajectory bundles. Attackers can access prompts, model messages, tool schemas, runtime events, and local path metadata from affected sessions by exploiting insufficient authorization checks. |
| OpenClaw before 2026.7.1 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the /voice set command that allows non-owner external-channel senders to persist Gateway voice configuration. Attackers with command access can change the voice used by Talk responses for the configured provider, affecting configuration integrity without exposing credentials or granting additional host capabilities. |
| OpenClaw Codex before 2026.7.1 fails to properly enforce owner authorization when creating native conversation bindings. Non-owner channel senders with command access can create bindings to the native Codex runtime and execute host-capable turns with access to files, tools, and processes. |
| OpenClaw channel plugins (@openclaw/msteams, @openclaw/feishu, @openclaw/matrix, and @openclaw/googlechat) before 2026.8.1 do not enforce the configured channel read allowlist for caller-supplied explicit read targets in message, reaction, pin, member, and related metadata read actions. A lower-trust sender or a steered agent with access to a channel read action can therefore retrieve content or metadata from channels or rooms excluded by the operator's read policy; the practical impact depends on the permissions held by the connected bot account. The issue is fixed in 2026.8.1. |
| OpenClaw (npm package `openclaw`) before 2026.7.1 fails to restrict owner-only infrastructure tools exposed through the chat.send endpoint. In Gateway deployments using authentication modes that honor caller identity and narrower operator scopes, a write-scoped non-owner caller can start a chat turn whose tool inventory includes the `gateway` and `cron` tools, causing the agent to invoke owner-only configuration or scheduling operations, including persistent state changes. Practical impact depends on the tools selected by the model and the caller's ability to steer the turn. Shared-secret token and password callers are treated as fully trusted operators under OpenClaw's security model and are outside the scope of this issue. The issue is fixed in 2026.7.1; as a workaround, restrict chat.send to administrators in identity-bearing deployments and remove `gateway` and `cron` from affected agent tool policies. |
| OpenClaw versions before 2026.7.1 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the diagnostics export command that allows non-owner channel senders to access owner-only host diagnostic bundles. Attackers can request and receive diagnostic details about the host, configuration, runtime, and connected services intended only for owners. |
| OpenClaw is an npm-distributed agent gateway. In versions before 2026.7.1, the global Active Memory toggle mutations could omit owner checks. An authorized non-owner external-channel sender could therefore persistently enable or disable Active Memory for the Gateway, disabling memory recall for future sessions or re-enabling global recall where the owner expected it to remain disabled. The issue is limited to persistent global on/off mutations; session-level controls and read-only status remain governed by existing command policy. The issue is fixed in version 2026.7.1. (Suggested title: "OpenClaw before 2026.7.1 missing owner authorization check on Active Memory global toggles".) |
| OpenClaw versions before 2026.7.1 fail to properly validate owner authorization in the Codex computer-use installation command. Non-owner channel senders can install arbitrary plugins and execute MCP processes with OpenClaw user privileges, affecting host confidentiality, integrity, and availability. |
| OpenClaw (npm package 'openclaw') before 2026.7.1 incorrectly trusts requester provenance in message.action. In identity-bearing Gateway deployments (authentication modes that honor caller identity and narrower operator scopes), a write-scoped caller can supply another sender's identifier to the channel authorization checks and invoke a channel action under that spoofed requester identity, reaching operations the channel adapter would have denied to the real caller. Practical impact depends on the enabled channel, the action, and the target account's permissions. Shared-secret token and password callers are full trusted operators under OpenClaw's security model and are out of scope. The issue is fixed in 2026.7.1; as a workaround, restrict message.action to administrators and disable sensitive channel actions that rely on requester identity. |
| OpenClaw (npm package 'openclaw') versions >= 2026.6.6 and < 2026.8.1 apply the SMS webhook invalid-request rate limit before Twilio signature verification and identify clients only by the raw proxy socket address. In deployments where the SMS/Twilio webhook sits behind a trusted reverse proxy or tunnel so that multiple external clients share one socket address, an unauthenticated remote sender can exhaust the shared pre-authentication rate-limit budget with invalid requests, causing subsequent correctly signed Twilio callbacks to receive HTTP 429 responses. The result is temporary inbound SMS loss while the shared window remains exhausted; the attacker cannot forge a callback or access message data. Fixed in 2026.8.1. |
