Information Exposure

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure via the connect process. An attacker can obtain sensitive host filesystem paths and deployment metadata by making authenticated requests as a non-admin client...

OpenClaw: Gateway hello snapshots exposed host config and state paths to non-admin clients

Summary Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, the Gateway connect success snapshot exposed local configPath and stateDir metadata to non-admin clients. Low-privilege authenticated clients could learn host filesystem layout and deployment details that were not needed for their role. Impact A non-admin client...

Unsafe Dependency Resolution

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Unsafe Dependency Resolution through the channel setup process. An attacker can execute arbitrary code by introducing a malicious workspace plugin that claims a bundled channel id, allowi...

OpenClaw: Untrusted workspace channel shadows could execute during built-in channel setup

Summary Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, built-in channel setup and login could resolve an untrusted workspace channel shadow before the plugin was explicitly trusted. A malicious workspace plugin that claimed a bundled channel id could execute during channel setup even while still disabled. Impact A...

Improper Privilege Management

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Privilege Management in the POST /sessions/:sessionKey/kill process. An attacker can terminate active subagent sessions by sending requests with only read-scoped identity-bearing...

OpenClaw: Read-scoped identity-bearing HTTP clients could kill sessions via /sessions/:sessionKey/kill

Summary Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, POST /sessions/:sessionKey/kill did not enforce write scopes in identity-bearing HTTP modes. A caller limited to read-only operator scopes could still terminate a running subagent session. Impact A read-scoped caller could perform a write-class control-plane...

GHSA-5HFF-46VH-RXMW OpenClaw: Read-scoped identity-bearing HTTP clients could kill sessions via /sessions/:sessionKey/kill

Summary Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, POST /sessions/:sessionKey/kill did not enforce write scopes in identity-bearing HTTP modes. A caller limited to read-only operator scopes could still terminate a running subagent session. Impact A read-scoped caller could perform a write-class control-plane...

GHSA-4P4F-FC8Q-84M3 OpenClaw: iOS A2UI bridge trusted generic local-network pages for agent.request dispatch

Summary Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, the iOS A2UI bridge treated generic local-network pages as trusted bridge origins. A page loaded from a local-network or tailnet host could trigger agent.request dispatch without the stricter trusted-canvas origin check. Impact A loaded attacker-controlled page...

Directory Traversal

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Directory Traversal via the QQ Bot media-send path. An attacker can access arbitrary files on the host filesystem by crafting structured payloads that specify file paths outside of intend...

OpenClaw: QQ Bot structured payloads could read arbitrary local files

Summary Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, QQ Bot structured media payloads could read local files from attacker-chosen paths. A crafted structured payload could escape QQ Bot-owned media roots and cause arbitrary file reads on the host. Impact Prompt-influenced structured payload output could exfiltrate...

GHSA-846P-HGPV-VPHC OpenClaw: QQ Bot structured payloads could read arbitrary local files

Summary Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, QQ Bot structured media payloads could read local files from attacker-chosen paths. A crafted structured payload could escape QQ Bot-owned media roots and cause arbitrary file reads on the host. Impact Prompt-influenced structured payload output could exfiltrate...

OpenClaw: OpenShell mirror mode could delete arbitrary remote directories when roots were mis-scoped

Summary Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, the OpenShell mirror backend accepted arbitrary absolute remoteWorkspaceDir and remoteAgentWorkspaceDir values. In mirror mode, those paths were then used as the target of remote cleanup and overwrite operations. Impact If an attacker could influence those...

GHSA-M34Q-H93W-VG5X OpenClaw: OpenShell mirror mode could delete arbitrary remote directories when roots were mis-scoped

OpenClaw: Zalo replay dedupe cache could suppress events across authenticated webhook targets

Summary Before OpenClaw 2026.3.31, the Zalo webhook replay-dedupe cache was shared across authenticated webhook targets and keyed too broadly. In multi-account deployments, a replay seen on one account could suppress a legitimate event on another account if eventname and messageid matched. Impact...

In multi-account deployments, a replay seen on one account could suppress a legitimate event on another account if eventname and messageid matched. Impact...

GHSA-WWFP-W96M-C6X8 OpenClaw: Pairing pending-request caps were enforced per channel instead of per account

Summary Before OpenClaw 2026.3.31, pending pairing-request caps were enforced per channel file instead of per account. On multi-account channel setups, requests from other accounts could fill the shared pending window and block new pairing challenges on an unaffected account. Impact This issue...
