OpenClaw's mutating internal ACP chat commands missed operator.admin scope enforcement

Summary Mutating internal ACP chat commands missed the operator.admin gate that should separate read-only and mutating control-plane actions. Affected Packages / Versions - Package: openclaw npm - Affected: = 2026.3.22 - Latest released tag checked: v2026.3.23-2...

GHSA-QM9X-V7CX-7RQ4 OpenClaw's system.run allowlist can be bypassed through an unregistered time dispatch wrapper

Summary Allow-always exec approvals did not unwrap /usr/bin/time, so an unregistered time wrapper could bypass executable binding and reuse approval state for the inner command. Affected Packages / Versions - Package: openclaw npm - Affected: = 2026.3.22 - Latest released tag checked: v2026.3.23-...

GHSA-F8R2-VG7X-GH8M OpenClaw: Exec approval allowlist patterns overmatched on POSIX paths

Summary matchesExecAllowlistPattern normalized patterns and targets with lowercasing and compiled glob matching too broadly on POSIX. In addition, the ? wildcard could match /, which allowed matches to cross path segments. Impact These matching rules could overmatch allowlist entries and permit...

GHSA-GP3Q-WPQ4-5C5H OpenClaw: LINE group allowlist scope mismatch with DM pairing-store entries

Summary In specific LINE configurations, sender IDs approved through DM pairing could also satisfy group allowlist checks when operators expected group sender access to be scoped only to explicit group allowlists. Affected Packages / Versions - Package: openclaw npm - Latest published version at...

GHSA-RCHV-X836-W7XP OpenClaw's dashboard leaked gateway auth material via browser URL/query and localStorage

OpenClaw's macOS Dashboard flow exposed Gateway authentication material to browser-controlled surfaces. Before the fix, the macOS app appended the shared Gateway token and password to the Dashboard URL query string when opening the Control UI in the browser. The Control UI then imported the token...

GHSA-3JX4-Q2M7-R496 OpenClaw: Hardlink alias checks could bypass workspace-only file boundaries in specific configurations

Summary In certain workspace-restricted configurations, OpenClaw could follow hardlink aliases inside the workspace that reference files outside the workspace boundary. By default, tools.fs.workspaceOnly is off. This primarily affects deployments that intentionally enable workspace-only filesyste...

GHSA-9MPH-4F7V-FMVH OpenClaw has agent avatar symlink traversal in gateway session metadata

Summary A crafted local avatar path could follow a symlink outside the agent workspace and return arbitrary file contents as a base64 data: URL in gateway responses. Impact - Confidentiality impact: local file read in the gateway process context. - Exfiltration path: agents.list can return the...

OpenClaw has agent avatar symlink traversal in gateway session metadata

Summary A crafted local avatar path could follow a symlink outside the agent workspace and return arbitrary file contents as a base64 data: URL in gateway responses. Impact - Confidentiality impact: local file read in the gateway process context. - Exfiltration path: agents.list can return the...

OpenClaw's typed sender-key matching for toolsBySender prevents identity-collision policy bypass

Summary channels..groups..toolsBySender could match a privileged sender policy using a colliding mutable identity value for example senderName or senderUsername when deployments used untyped keys. The fix introduces explicit typed sender keys id:, e164:, username:, name:, keeps legacy untyped key...

GHSA-4GC7-QCVF-38WG In OpenClaw, manually adding sort to tools.exec.safeBins could bypass allowlist approval via --compress-program

Summary This issue applies to a non-default configuration only. If sort is manually added to tools.exec.safeBins, OpenClaw could treat sort --compress-program= as valid safe-bin usage. In security=allowlist + ask=on-miss, this could satisfy allowlist checks and skip operator approval, while GNU...

Summary This issue applies to a non-default configuration only. If sort is manually added to tools.exec.safeBins, OpenClaw could treat sort --compress-program= as valid safe-bin usage. In security=allowlist + ask=on-miss, this could satisfy allowlist checks and skip operator approval, while GNU...

GHSA-25PW-4H6W-QWVM OpenClaw has a BlueBubbles group allowlist mismatch via DM pairing-store fallback

Summary In [email protected], BlueBubbles group authorization could incorrectly treat DM pairing-store identities as group allowlist identities when dmPolicy=pairing and groupPolicy=allowlist. A sender that was only DM-paired not explicitly present in groupAllowFrom could pass group sender check...

GHSA-R294-2894-92J3 OpenClaw has stored XSS in exported session HTML viewer via markdown/raw-HTML rendering

Summary The exported session HTML viewer allowed stored XSS when untrusted session content included raw HTML markdown tokens or unescaped metadata fields. Impact Opening a crafted exported HTML session could execute attacker-controlled JavaScript in the viewer context. This can expose session...

GHSA-MQR9-VQHQ-3JXW OpenClaw Windows Scheduled Task script generation allowed local command injection via unsafe cmd argument handling

Summary OpenClaw Windows Scheduled Task script generation allowed unsafe argument handling in generated gateway.cmd files. In vulnerable versions, cmd metacharacter-only values could be emitted without safe quoting/escaping, which could lead to unintended command execution when the scheduled task...

OpenClaw: Node reconnect metadata spoofing could bypass platform-based node command policy

Summary A paired node device could reconnect with spoofed platform/deviceFamily metadata and broaden node command policy eligibility because reconnect metadata was accepted from the client while these fields were not bound into the device-auth signature. Affected Packages / Versions - Package:...

PT-2026-26011

Summary A path-confinement bypass in browser output handling allowed writes outside intended roots in openclaw versions up to and including 2026.3.1. The fix unifies root-bound, file-descriptor-verified write semantics and canonical path-boundary validation across browser output and related...

PT-2026-26017

Summary In openclaw up to and including 2026.2.23 latest npm release as of February 24, 2026, sandbox bind-source validation could be bypassed when a bind source used a symlinked parent plus a non-existent leaf path. Affected Packages / Versions - Package: openclaw npm - Affected: = 2026.2.24...
