OpenClaw Loopback CDP probe can leak Gateway token to local listener

Summary A local process can capture the OpenClaw Gateway auth token from Chrome CDP probe traffic on loopback. Details Affected versions inject x-openclaw-relay-token for loopback CDP URLs, and CDP reachability probes send that header to /json/version. If an attacker controls the probed loopback...

Command Injection

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via the gateway.cmd script generation. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands by supplying specially crafted environment variable values containing Windows shell...

OpenClaw has a Command Injection via unescaped environment assignments in Windows Scheduled Task script generation

Summary A command injection vulnerability existed in Windows Scheduled Task script generation for OpenClaw. Environment values were written into gateway.cmd using unquoted set KEY=VALUE, which allowed Windows shell metacharacters in config-provided environment variables to break out of assignment...

Incorrect Authorization

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via the allowFrom module. An attacker can gain unauthorized access by exploiting slug collisions in Discord name/tag allowlist entries, allowing them to bypass...

GHSA-4CQV-H74H-93J4 OpenClaw has a Discord `allowFrom` slug-collision authorization bypass

OpenClaw supports Discord allowlists using either user IDs or names/tags. Name/tag matching depends on slug normalization, so different user tags can collide to the same slug and unintentionally satisfy a name-based allowlist entry. Affected Packages / Versions - Package: openclaw npm - Affected...

Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information via the gateway.controlUi.allowInsecureAuth configuration when it is explicitly enabled and the gateway is exposed over plaintext HTTP.

GHSA-3CVX-236H-M9FJ OpenClaw has an opt-in insecure Control UI auth over plaintext HTTP could allow privileged access

Description In affected releases, when an operator explicitly enabled gateway.controlUi.allowInsecureAuth: true and exposed the gateway over plaintext HTTP, Control UI authentication could permit privileged operator access without the intended device identity + pairing guarantees. This required a...

GHSA-H97F-6PQJ-Q452 OpenClaw has a IPv6 multicast SSRF classifier bypass

Summary OpenClaw's SSRF IP classifier did not treat IPv6 multicast literals ff00::/8 as blocked/private-internal. This allowed literal multicast hosts to pass SSRF preflight checks. Impact A bypass in address classification existed for IPv6 multicast literals. OpenClaw's network fetch/navigation...
