Openclaw vulnerabilities

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a credential exposure vulnerability in media download functionality that forwards Authorization headers across cross-origin redirects. Attackers can exploit this by crafting malicious cross-origin redirect chains to intercept sensitive authorization credentials intended for legitimate requests.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 lacks a shared pre-auth concurrency budget on the public LINE webhook path, allowing attackers to cause transient availability loss. Remote attackers can flood the webhook endpoint with concurrent requests before signature verification to exhaust resources and degrade service availability.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a logic error in Discord component interaction routing that misclassifies group direct messages as direct messages in extensions/discord/src/monitor/agent-components-helpers.ts. Attackers can exploit this misclassification to bypass group DM policy enforcement or trigger incorrect session handling.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains an authentication boundary vulnerability where Telegram legacy allowFrom migration incorrectly fans default-account trust into all named accounts. Attackers can exploit this trust propagation to bypass authentication controls and gain unauthorized access to named accounts.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.2 exposes configPath and stateDir metadata in Gateway connect success snapshots to non-admin authenticated clients. Non-admin clients can recover host-specific filesystem paths and deployment details, enabling host fingerprinting and facilitating chained attacks.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a time-of-check-time-of-use vulnerability in sandbox file operations that allows attackers to bypass fd-based defenses. Attackers can exploit check-then-act patterns in apply_patch, remove, and mkdir operations to manipulate files between validation and execution.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a callback origin mutation vulnerability in Plivo voice-call replay that allows attackers to mutate in-process callback origin before replay rejection. Attackers with captured valid callbacks for live calls can exploit this to manipulate callback origins during the replay process.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains an information disclosure vulnerability in the Control Interface bootstrap JSON that exposes version and assistant agent identifiers. Attackers can extract sensitive fingerprinting information from the Control UI bootstrap payload to identify system versions and agent configurations.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a decompression bomb vulnerability in image processing that fails to properly enforce pixel-limit guards on sips. Attackers can exploit this by uploading oversized images to cause denial of service through excessive memory consumption.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains an environment variable sanitization vulnerability where GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR and AWS_CONFIG_FILE are not blocked in the host-env blocklist. Attackers can exploit approved exec requests to redirect git or AWS CLI behavior through attacker-controlled configuration files to execute untrusted code or load malicious credentials.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.20 contains an improper authorization vulnerability in paired-device pairing management that allows limited-scope sessions to enumerate and act on pairing requests. Attackers with paired-device access can approve or operate on unrelated pending device requests within the same gateway scope.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.20 contains a scope enforcement bypass vulnerability in the assistant-media route that allows trusted-proxy callers without operator.read scope to access protected assistant-media files and metadata. Attackers can bypass identity-bearing HTTP auth path scope validation to retrieve sensitive media content within allowed media roots.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a resource consumption vulnerability in Telegram audio preflight transcription that allows unauthorized group senders to trigger transcription processing. Attackers can exploit insufficient allowlist enforcement to cause resource or billing consumption by initiating audio preflight operations before authorization checks are applied.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains an environment variable override vulnerability in host exec policy that fails to properly enforce proxy, TLS, Docker, and Git TLS controls. Attackers can bypass security controls by overriding environment variables to circumvent proxy settings, TLS verification, Docker restrictions, and Git TLS enforcement.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the marketplace plugin download functionality that allows remote attackers to make arbitrary network requests. Attackers can exploit unguarded fetch() calls to access internal resources or interact with external services on behalf of the affected system.

OpenClaw versions 2026.3.22 before 2026.3.31 contain a signature verification bypass vulnerability in the Nostr DM ingress path that allows pairing challenges to be issued before event signature validation. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send forged direct messages to create pending pairing entries and trigger pairing-reply attempts, consuming shared pairing capacity and triggering bounded relay and logging work on the Nostr channel.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a trust-decline vulnerability that preserves attacker-discovered endpoints in remote onboarding flows. Attackers can route gateway credentials to malicious endpoints by having their discovered URL survive the trust decline process into manual prompts requiring operator acceptance.
