DescriptionCVE.org

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 fails to disconnect active WebSocket sessions when devices are removed or tokens are revoked. Attackers with revoked credentials can maintain unauthorized access through existing live sessions until forced reconnection.

AnalysisAI

WebSocket session fixation in OpenClaw before version 2026.3.28 enables attackers to maintain unauthorized access after credential revocation. The vulnerability permits unauthenticated remote attackers (CVSS PR:N) to exploit persistent WebSocket connections that fail to terminate when device tokens are revoked, resulting in high confidentiality impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the attack vector is network-accessible with low complexity. EPSS data not available; affects OpenClaw deployments with WebSocket-based device communication.

Technical ContextAI

OpenClaw is a device management platform utilizing WebSocket protocol for persistent bidirectional communication with connected devices. This vulnerability stems from CWE-613 (Insufficient Session Expiration), where the session management layer fails to implement proper lifecycle binding between authentication tokens and active WebSocket connections. When administrators revoke device credentials or remove devices from the system, the authentication state changes in the backend database, but the WebSocket session handler does not receive termination signals or perform active validation of token status. The affected component (cpe:2.3:a:openclaw:openclaw) lacks real-time session invalidation mechanisms, allowing stale connections to persist until natural disconnection events (network timeout, client closure, or server restart). This represents a design flaw in the session state synchronization between the authentication subsystem and the WebSocket connection manager.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.3.28 or later, which implements proper WebSocket session termination synchronized with credential revocation and device removal events. The vendor-released patch is available through the project's GitHub repository, with the specific fix implemented in commit 7a801cc451e9e667b705eeccff651923a1b8c863 accessible at https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/7a801cc451e9e667b705eeccff651923a1b8c863. Organizations unable to immediately upgrade should implement compensating controls including forced WebSocket connection cycling via server restarts during credential revocation events, network-level session timeout enforcement through load balancers or API gateways (recommended 5-15 minute maximum session duration), and enhanced monitoring for WebSocket connections associated with recently revoked tokens. Review audit logs for any suspicious activity from devices that were removed or had credentials revoked within the past 90 days to identify potential unauthorized access.
