4Description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Control UI that allows unauthenticated sessions to retain self-declared privileged scopes without device identity verification. Attackers can exploit the device-less allow path in the trusted-proxy mechanism to maintain elevated permissions by declaring arbitrary scopes, bypassing device identity requirements.
Analysis
Privilege escalation in OpenClaw Control UI enables unauthenticated attackers to claim arbitrary privileged scopes without device identity verification. By exploiting the trusted-proxy mechanism's device-less allow path, attackers bypass authentication requirements and maintain elevated permissions across sessions. …
