DescriptionCVE.org
OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains a policy confusion vulnerability in room authorization that matches colliding room names instead of stable room tokens. Attackers can exploit similarly named rooms to bypass allowlist policies and gain unauthorized access to protected Nextcloud Talk rooms.
AnalysisAI
OpenClaw before version 2026.3.22 uses room names instead of stable tokens for Nextcloud Talk room authorization, allowing authenticated attackers to bypass allowlist policies by creating similarly named rooms and gaining unauthorized access to protected conversations. The vulnerability requires low privileges and high attack complexity but poses a direct confidentiality and integrity risk to room access controls. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been reported.
Technical ContextAI
OpenClaw integrates with Nextcloud Talk to manage room-based access control policies. The vulnerability stems from a policy confusion flaw (CWE-807) where the authorization mechanism relies on room name matching rather than unique, immutable room tokens for enforcement. Room names are user-controllable and can collide or be crafted to match allowlisted names, causing the authorization logic to incorrectly grant access to protected rooms. This is a logic-layer vulnerability in how the application validates room membership against policy rules, rather than a cryptographic or network-level flaw.
RemediationAI
Upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.3.22 or later to remediate the vulnerability. The vendor-released patch is confirmed by commit 630f1479c44f78484dfa21bb407cbe6f171dac87 and follow-up commit a47722de7e3c9cbda8d5512747ca7e3bb8f6ee66 in the OpenClaw repository. See the official security advisory at https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-xhq5-45pm-2gjr for detailed guidance. No workarounds are available; patching is the only remediation path.
