• Severity: high (CVSS 8.8 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV

• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2026-03-21 · updated 2026-06-17

Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.1 contain an authorization mismatch vulnerability that allows authenticated callers with operator.write scope to invoke owner-only tool surfaces including gateway and cron through agent runs in scoped-token deployments. Attackers with write-scope access can perform control-plane actions beyond their intended authorization level by exploiting inconsistent owner-only gating during agent execution.

Affected products

• OpenClaw: before 2026.3.1 — fixed in 2026.3.1
