Vendor: openclaw
OpenClaw before 2026.4.2 fails to enforce write scopes on the POST /sessions/:sessionKey/kill endpoint in identity-bearing HTTP modes. Read-scoped callers can terminate running subagent sessions by sending requests to this endpoint, bypassing authorization controls.
OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the marketplace plugin download functionality that allows attackers to access internal resources by following unvalidated redirects. The marketplace.ts module fails to restrict redirect destinations during archive downloads, enabling remote attackers to redirect requests to arbitrary internal or external servers.
OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a time-of-check-time-of-use race condition in the remote filesystem bridge readFile function that allows sandbox escape. Attackers can exploit the separate path validation and file read operations to bypass sandbox restrictions and read arbitrary files.
OpenClaw before 2026.4.2 contains an improper trust boundary vulnerability allowing untrusted workspace channel shadows to execute during built-in channel setup and login. Attackers can clone a workspace with a malicious plugin claiming a bundled channel id to achieve unintended in-process code execution before the plugin is explicitly trusted.
OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 loads the current working directory .env file before trusted state-dir configuration, allowing environment variable injection. Attackers can place a malicious .env file in a repository or workspace to override runtime configuration and security-sensitive environment settings during OpenClaw startup.
OpenClaw before 2026.4.2 accepts non-loopback cleartext ws:// gateway endpoints and transmits stored gateway credentials over unencrypted connections. Attackers can forge discovery results or craft setup codes to redirect clients to malicious endpoints, disclosing plaintext gateway credentials.
OpenClaw versions 2026.4.7 before 2026.4.15 fail to enforce local-root containment on tool-result media paths, allowing arbitrary local and UNC file access. Attackers can craft malicious tool-result media references to trigger host-side file reads or Windows network path access, potentially disclosing sensitive files or exposing credentials.
OpenClaw Client PKCE Verifier Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose stored credentials on affected installations of OpenClaw. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must initiate an OAuth authorization flow. The specific flaw exists within the implementation of OAuth authorization. The issue results from the exposure of sensitive data in the authorization URL query string. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose stored credentials, leading to further compromise. Was ZDI-CAN-29381.
OpenClaw Canvas Authentication Bypass Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication on affected installations of OpenClaw. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the the authentication function for canvas endpoints. The issue results from improper implementation of authentication. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to bypass authentication on the system. Was ZDI-CAN-29311.
OpenClaw Canvas Path Traversal Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of OpenClaw. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of the path parameters provided to the canvas gateway endpoint. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose information in the context of the service account. Was ZDI-CAN-29312.
