CVSS v3.1 |
| OpenClaw for iOS before 2026.8.11 stores Gateway credentials as cleartext JSON in App Group UserDefaults instead of the device Keychain. Attackers with access to unencrypted device backups or extracted App Group containers can recover valid Gateway tokens and passwords to authenticate with operator authority. |
| OpenClaw versions before 2026.8.1 fail to validate video asset URLs returned by providers, allowing server-side requests to private destinations. A malicious or compromised provider can return private or loopback URLs to cause the CLI to make requests to internal services accessible from the OpenClaw host. |
| OpenClaw versions before 2026.8.1 contain a sandbox policy bypass vulnerability in the MCP loopback component that allows sandboxed coding-agent sessions to invoke tools explicitly denied by sandbox.tools.deny policy. Attackers can list and invoke denied tools to access data or perform actions the operator intended to exclude from the sandbox. |
| OpenClaw is an npm-distributed application. In versions >= 2026.4.25 and < 2026.8.1, the workspace environment-variable filter did not block variables ending in `_ENDPOINT`, so an untrusted workspace `.env` file could set AZURE_SPEECH_ENDPOINT. Azure Speech preferred that value over the configured region, so when a synthesis or voice-list request was made, the attacker-selected endpoint received the operator's Azure Speech key in the request header, allowing the key to be reused against the operator's Azure Speech resource. Exploitation requires an operator to start OpenClaw in attacker-controlled workspace content with Azure Speech configured with a key and region and no trusted endpoint override set. The issue is fixed in 2026.8.1. |
| OpenClaw versions before 2026.8.1 fail to neutralize spreadsheet formula characters in participant display names within attendance CSV exports. Attackers can inject formula-like cells that execute with spreadsheet user permissions when the export is opened in formula-enabled applications. |
| OpenClaw versions before 2026.8.1 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability where Allow Always approvals for exact commands persist as path-only grants on macOS and Linux. Attackers can reuse the same executable with different arguments to execute commands without triggering new approval prompts, potentially accessing files or internal services. |
| OpenClaw (npm package openclaw) versions >= 2026.5.2 and < 2026.8.1 contain an incorrect authorization vulnerability in WhatsApp group handling. A group sender who is admitted for ordinary messages but denied by commands.allowFrom or owner command authorization can issue the /new <model> command to reset the shared group session and persist a provider and model override. This allows a command-denied group member to select a provider and model already permitted by the operator for subsequent turns in the shared group session, potentially changing provider routing, cost, data flow, or availability. It does not allow adding a new provider or host command execution. The issue is fixed in version 2026.8.1. |
| OpenClaw (npm package 'openclaw') before 2026.8.1 does not correctly enforce per-chat tool policies for Codex app-server runtime tools. A conversation-level tools.allow rule filtered OpenClaw tools but did not restrict the shell, process, file, and patch tools owned by the Codex runtime. When a lower-trust conversation was assigned to a Codex runtime and restricted with a per-chat tool allowlist, a participant able to trigger that agent could still reach native command and file tools, bypassing the configured allowlist. The practical impact depends on the runtime's host permissions and sandbox configuration. The issue is fixed in 2026.8.1. |
| OpenClaw (npm package 'openclaw') versions >= 2026.3.28 and < 2026.8.1 contain a credential exposure issue in memory embedding failover. When remote embedding fallback is configured and the primary embedding provider fails, the request can be sent to a different fallback provider while still reusing the primary provider's configured API key, causing that credential to be transmitted as a bearer token to an unintended vendor. The practical impact depends on the configured providers, whether failover occurs, and the privileges attached to the primary provider key. The issue is fixed in 2026.8.1; as a workaround, disable cross-provider embedding fallback or configure each provider with separate, narrowly scoped credentials. |
| openclaw's @openclaw/voice-call package before 2026.8.1 launches the configured agent for classic inbound voice calls without propagating the caller's identity or non-owner status. As a result, owner-only tool filtering can fail open and expose the agent's normal tool authority to a remote caller. A caller who is admitted by the configured inbound-call policy (open, pairing, or allowlist) on a deployment with inbound calling enabled can therefore drive tools intended for the trusted owner, potentially reading data, modifying files, executing commands, or controlling connected services depending on the agent's configuration. The issue is fixed in 2026.8.1. |
| OpenClaw Feishu before 2026.8.1 fails to validate whether a configured default account is disabled before selecting it for model tool operations. Attackers can exploit multi-account setups where a disabled default account retains credentials to read or modify Feishu resources through a revoked identity. |
| OpenClaw versions before 2026.8.1 fail to validate all source fields in structured message attachments, allowing attackers to hide unvalidated host paths behind allowed attachment sources. Attackers can exploit this by providing multiple source fields to bypass sandbox path validation and cause Telegram delivery to read and send known host files that would otherwise be rejected. |
| @openclaw/whatsapp (npm) before 2026.8.1 exposes the WhatsApp login tool through the generic channel-tool path without preserving the originating sender's owner status, so the owner-only tool boundary is not enforced. An admitted non-owner sender able to steer the tool can request a forced login and receive a new QR code for a configured account, disconnecting the Gateway's WhatsApp account and causing loss of availability; full account relinking additionally requires the attacker to scan the returned QR code with another phone. The issue affects the owner-only tool boundary rather than WhatsApp transport authentication. Fixed in 2026.8.1. |
| OpenClaw (npm package 'openclaw') before 2026.8.1 could send third-party provider credentials to the wrong endpoint. In affected versions, when a third-party provider uses an OpenAI-compatible API and the resolved model metadata lacks a concrete base URL, a pinned session that continues after a model configuration hot reload retains that provider's credential while the OpenAI SDK selects its own default endpoint. A resulting request could disclose the configured third-party provider credential to an unrelated provider endpoint and fail with a misleading authentication error. Operators who observed this condition should rotate the affected credential. The issue is fixed in 2026.8.1. |
| OpenClaw before 2026.9.5 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability in the Gateway's local media root allowlist that breaks filesystem isolation between sandboxed sessions. Sandboxed sessions or untrusted content can cause the Gateway to read files from sibling session sandboxes or shared workspace directories through media pipeline functions that fail to restrict reads to the active session. |
| OpenClaw before 2026.9.4 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability in the mcp.app.view method that allows read-scoped operators to execute MCP App tools requiring operator.write scope. Attackers with operator.read tokens can obtain a standalone ticket from mcp.app.view and redeem it at the MCP app view endpoint to invoke state-changing tools without proper authorization checks. |
| OpenClaw's Matrix integration (npm package @openclaw/matrix) versions >= 2026.2.2 and < 2026.8.1 lowercase complete Matrix user IDs — including historical localparts and the case-sensitive server-name portion — when deriving the OpenClaw authorization identity. As a result, distinct authenticated Matrix accounts can normalize to the same authorization identity. A Matrix participant controlling a colliding account identifier (a protocol-valid identifier that differs from the configured one only by characters OpenClaw case/Unicode folds; display-name matching is not required) can inherit allowlist, owner-command, exec-approval, or plugin-approval authority configured for another account. The issue is fixed in 2026.8.1. |
| OpenClaw (npm package 'openclaw') before 2026.8.1 fails to apply the originating requester's effective tool policy during Active Memory automatic recall. In deployments that use Active Memory together with requester-specific tool rules, deterministic and hidden recall paths can retrieve durable memory and inject it into the agent's context even when toolsBySender explicitly denies that requester access to the memory tools (memory_search, memory_get). As a result, an admitted but denied sender can receive information derived from durable memory in the agent's response without directly invoking any memory tool. The issue is fixed in 2026.8.1. |
| 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. |
