DescriptionCVE.org

OpenClaw before 2026.4.8 omits owner-only enforcement for cross-channel allowlist writes in the /allowlist endpoint. An authorized non-owner sender can bypass access controls to perform allowlist modifications against different channels, violating the intended trust model.

AnalysisAI

Cross-channel allowlist write bypass in OpenClaw before 2026.4.8 allows an authorized but non-owner sender to modify the /allowlist endpoint of channels they do not own, violating the product's intended authorization model. The flaw is classified under CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) and is explicitly scoped by the vendor to OpenClaw's single-user local assistant trust model - the advisory excludes multi-tenant service boundaries. With a CVSS 4.0 score of 2.3, EPSS of 0.05% at the 16th percentile, SSVC exploitation status of none, and no public exploit code identified at time of analysis, this is a low-priority integrity-only issue warranting a normal patch cycle rather than emergency response.

Technical ContextAI

OpenClaw is a user-controlled local assistant distributed as the 'openclaw' npm package. The /allowlist endpoint governs which senders are permitted to interact with specific channels within the assistant. CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) describes the root cause: while the endpoint validates that the caller is an authorized sender, it omits the ownership check that should restrict cross-channel allowlist mutations to the channel owner only. This constitutes horizontal privilege escalation within the same authentication boundary - a legitimately credentialed non-owner principal can alter access controls on another channel's allowlist. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:openclaw:openclaw:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all openclaw npm releases prior to 2026.4.8. The CVSS 4.0 vector AT:P metric confirms a specific attack prerequisite: the existence of multiple channels with distinct ownership within the same instance must be present for cross-channel exploitation to be possible.

RemediationAI

Upgrade the openclaw npm package to version 2026.4.8 or later, as confirmed by the GHSA advisory GHSA-vc32-h5mq-453v and patch commit d7c3210cd6f5fdfdc1beff4c9541673e814354d5. The vendor states the fix was re-verified against main with targeted regression tests for the affected authorization boundary before publication. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict network access to the /allowlist endpoint to the channel owner only at the infrastructure level (e.g., reverse proxy ACLs or network policy), or disable cross-channel write capability if the deployment supports it - neither workaround addresses the missing authorization logic and may disrupt intended multi-channel workflows.
