CVE-2026-32897: OpenClaw < 2026.2.22 - Authentication Token Reuse in Owner ID Prompt Hashing Fallback

• Severity: medium (CVSS 5.3 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.3% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2026-03-21 · updated 2026-06-17
• Weakness: CWE-320

Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22 reuse gateway.auth.token as a fallback hash secret for owner-ID prompt obfuscation when commands.ownerDisplay is set to hash and commands.ownerDisplaySecret is unset, creating dual-use of authentication secrets across security domains. Attackers with access to system prompts sent to third-party model providers can derive the gateway authentication token from the hash outputs, compromising gateway authentication security.

Affected products

• OpenClaw: before 2026.2.22 — fixed in 2026.2.22

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: OpenClaw 2026.2.22. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
