Lifecycle Timeline
4Description
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.
Analysis
An authorization mismatch vulnerability in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.1 allows authenticated users with operator.write scope to escalate privileges and execute owner-only administrative functions including gateway and cron management through agent runs in scoped-token deployments. This is a privilege escalation issue affecting deployments using scoped authentication tokens, where write-level access can be exploited to perform control-plane operations reserved for owners. …
