OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 fails to enforce controlScope restrictions on the send action, allowing leaf subagents to message controlled child sessions beyond their authorized scope. Attackers can exploit this by using the send action to communicate with child sessions without proper scope validation, bypassing intended access control restrictions.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in interactive callback dispatch that allows non-allowlisted senders to execute action handlers. Attackers can bypass sender authorization checks by dispatching callbacks before normal security validation completes, enabling unauthorized actions.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.24 contains missing authorization vulnerabilities in the /send and /allowlist chat command handlers. The /send command allows non-owner command-authorized senders to change owner-only session delivery policy settings, and the /allowlist mutating commands fail to enforce operator.admin scope. Attackers with operator.write scope can invoke /send on|off|inherit to persistently mutate the current session's sendPolicy, and execute /allowlist add commands to modify config-backed allowFrom entries and pairing-store allowlist entries without proper admin authorization.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains an environment variable override handling vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass the shared host environment policy through inconsistent sanitization paths. Attackers can supply blocked or malformed override keys that slip through inconsistent validation to execute arbitrary code with unintended environment variables.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the HTTP /sessions/:sessionKey/history route that skips operator.read scope validation. Attackers can access session history without proper operator read permissions by sending HTTP requests to the vulnerable endpoint.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains a service discovery vulnerability where TXT metadata from Bonjour and DNS-SD could influence CLI routing even when actual service resolution failed. Attackers can exploit unresolved hints to steer routing decisions to unintended targets by providing malicious discovery metadata.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.24 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability where the /allowlist command fails to re-validate gateway client scopes for internal callers, allowing operator.write-scoped clients to mutate channel authorization policy. Attackers can exploit chat.send to build an internal command-authorized context and persist channel allowFrom and groupAllowFrom policy changes reserved for operator.admin scope.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.24 contains an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-27486 where the !stop chat command uses an unpatched killProcessTree function from shell-utils.ts that sends SIGKILL immediately without graceful SIGTERM shutdown. Attackers can trigger process termination via the !stop command, causing data corruption, resource leaks, and skipped security-sensitive cleanup operations.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.24 contains a path traversal vulnerability in sandbox enforcement allowing sandboxed agents to read arbitrary files from other agents' workspaces via unnormalized mediaUrl or fileUrl parameter keys. Attackers can exploit incomplete parameter validation in normalizeSandboxMediaParams and missing mediaLocalRoots context to access sensitive files including API keys and configuration data outside designated sandbox roots.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains a webhook reply delivery vulnerability that allows attackers to rebind chat replies to unintended users by exploiting mutable username matching instead of stable numeric user identifiers. Attackers can manipulate username changes to redirect webhook-triggered replies to different users, bypassing the intended recipient binding recorded in webhook events.
