DescriptionCVE.org
OpenClaw versions 2026.3.11 through 2026.3.24 contain a session isolation bypass vulnerability where session_status resolves sessionId to canonical session keys before enforcing visibility checks. Sandboxed child sessions can exploit this to access parent or sibling sessions that should be blocked by explicit sessionKey restrictions.
AnalysisAI
Session isolation bypass in OpenClaw 2026.3.11 through 2026.3.24 allows authenticated attackers to access parent or sibling sessions bypassing visibility restrictions. The vulnerability exploits session_status logic that resolves sessionId to canonical session keys before enforcing explicit sessionKey-based access controls, enabling sandboxed child sessions to read data from sessions they should not access. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. Impacts confidentiality of session data across isolation boundaries in multi-tenant or sandboxed deployment scenarios.
Technical ContextAI
Root cause stems from premature canonical resolution in session_status processing (CWE-696: Incorrect Behavior Order). The function converts sessionId to canonical keys before applying sessionKey visibility filters, allowing sandboxed child contexts to reference restricted parent/sibling sessions through identifier manipulation. Authentication is required (CVSS PR:L), but once authenticated, attackers can traverse session boundaries that should enforce strict isolation via explicit key constraints.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade to OpenClaw version containing commit d9810811b6c3c9266d7580f00574e5e02f7663de or later. The fix reorders session_status validation to enforce sessionKey visibility checks before canonical resolution, preventing unauthorized session traversal. Organizations unable to upgrade immediately should audit session isolation configurations and consider restricting child session creation privileges until patching is complete. Review access logs for suspicious cross-session access attempts by sandboxed contexts.
