CVE-2026-32034: OpenClaw < 2026.2.21 - Insecure Control UI Authentication over Plaintext HTTP

• Severity: high (CVSS 8.1 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.4% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2026-03-19 · updated 2026-06-17
• Weakness: CWE-78

Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.21 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the Control UI when allowInsecureAuth is explicitly enabled and the gateway is exposed over plaintext HTTP, allowing attackers to bypass device identity and pairing verification. An attacker with leaked or intercepted credentials can obtain high-privilege Control UI access by exploiting the lack of secure authentication enforcement over unencrypted HTTP connections.

Affected products

• OpenClaw: before 2026.2.21 — fixed in 2026.2.21

Upgrade to a fixed version: OpenClaw 2026.2.21. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
