DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw has been found in nextlevelbuilder GoClaw up to 3.13.3-beta.3. This affects the function ExecTool.Execute of the file goclaw/internal/tools/credentialed_exec.go. Executing a manipulation can lead to improper authorization. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used.

AnalysisAI

Improper authorization in nextlevelbuilder GoClaw up to version 3.13.3-beta.3 allows low-privileged remote attackers to bypass access controls via manipulation of the ExecTool.Execute function in credentialed_exec.go. The CVSS 4.0 vector confirms network-accessible exploitation requiring only low-privilege credentials, with limited but confirmed confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the vulnerable system. A publicly available proof-of-concept exploit exists (tracked in GitHub issue #1215), though the overall CVSS 4.0 base score of 2.1 reflects constrained real-world impact.

Technical ContextAI

GoClaw is a Go-based tool developed by nextlevelbuilder. The vulnerability resides in goclaw/internal/tools/credentialed_exec.go within the ExecTool.Execute function, which is responsible for credentialed command or tool execution. CWE-285 (Improper Authorization) identifies the root cause: the function fails to adequately verify that the requesting principal has sufficient permissions for the requested operation, allowing a lower-privileged caller to invoke execution paths intended for higher-privilege roles. The file name 'credentialed_exec' strongly implies this component is a trust boundary - it should enforce authorization before executing privileged operations, but the check is either absent, incomplete, or bypassable. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:nextlevelbuilder:goclaw:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all versions through 3.13.3-beta.3.

RemediationAI

Upstream fix activity is visible in GitHub issue #1215 (https://github.com/nextlevelbuilder/goclaw/issues/1215) and associated comment thread; however, a tagged patched release version has not been confirmed from the available data, so operators should monitor the repository directly for a corrective release. As a compensating control, restrict access to the GoClaw service to only fully trusted, higher-privileged identities by enforcing authentication at the network or application gateway layer, preventing low-privileged accounts from reaching the ExecTool.Execute endpoint. Additionally, audit existing low-privilege users who have network access to the GoClaw instance and remove unnecessary accounts. If GoClaw is not required in production, consider disabling the service until a verified patch is available. Each of these controls reduces the PR:L attack surface but does not eliminate the underlying authorization flaw.
