| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated session with at least low-privilege access to the GoClaw instance (PR:L per CVSS:4.0 vector) - unauthenticated exploitation is not supported by available data. The vulnerable code path is the handleSave function within the RoleAdmin Gateway component, reachable over the network (AV:N) with no special attack requirements beyond authentication (AT:N) and no user interaction (UI:N). No non-default configuration or specific platform version beyond GoClaw ≤3.11.3 is cited as a prerequisite. Exploitation is limited by the requirement to hold a valid account on the target GoClaw instance; organizations that do not permit external user registration or that restrict account creation significantly reduce their real-world exposure. Impact is further constrained to low-level confidentiality, integrity, and availability effects with no lateral impact to connected systems (SC:N/SI:N/SA:N). |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 score of 2.1 (LOW) is consistent with the constrained impact profile: all three CIA sub-scores are Low (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), there is no scope change (SC:N/SI:N/SA:N), and exploitation requires low privileges (PR:L). The attack vector is network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) and no attack requirements (AT:N) or user interaction (UI:N), meaning exploitation is straightforward once an attacker holds a valid low-privilege session. Exploit maturity is rated E:P (proof-of-concept), which aligns with the publicly available GitHub-linked exploit. No EPSS data was provided, and the CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no confirmed widespread or targeted active exploitation at time of analysis. The practical risk is bounded: an attacker must first obtain authenticated access before leveraging the flaw. For organizations that expose GoClaw externally or allow broad user registration, the combination of low-barrier exploitation (AC:L, AT:N, UI:N post-auth) and available POC code meaningfully raises the exploitation likelihood compared to what the raw CVSS score implies. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a valid low-privilege GoClaw account sends a crafted HTTP request to the RoleAdmin Gateway's handleSave endpoint, exploiting the absent or bypassable privilege check in tts_config.go to perform administrative configuration actions. Because a proof-of-concept has been published on GitHub (issue #1118), the mechanics of triggering the flaw are publicly documented, lowering the skill threshold for exploitation. The attacker gains elevated access within the application, potentially modifying TTS configuration in ways restricted to administrators. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 01, 2026
Improper privilege management in nextlevelbuilder GoClaw up to version 3.11.3 allows authenticated low-privileged users to escalate privileges via the handleSave function of the RoleAdmin Gateway component (internal/http/tts_config.go). The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network with no user interaction required, though a low-privilege authenticated session is a prerequisite per the CVSS:4.0 vector (PR:L). A publicly available proof-of-concept exists (published via GitHub issue #1118), but this CVE has not been added to the CISA KEV catalog. The CVSS 4.0 base score of 2.1 (LOW) reflects constrained confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact with no scope change to downstream systems.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patched version has been independently confirmed at the time of analysis. The project acknowledged the issue by tagging it as a bug (referenced in GitHub issue #1118 at https://github.com/nextlevelbuilder/goclaw/issues/1118). Operators should monitor the upstream repository at https://github.com/nextlevelbuilder/goclaw for a remediation commit or tagged release. As a compensating control, restrict access to the RoleAdmin Gateway and the TTS configuration save endpoint to only trusted, explicitly authorized administrator accounts - this limits exploitation to accounts that should already have elevated access, effectively neutralizing the privilege escalation path. Additionally, audit existing low-privilege accounts for any unauthorized configuration changes made via handleSave. If GoClaw is exposed externally, consider placing the admin gateway behind network-layer controls (firewall rules, VPN, or IP allowlisting) to reduce the attacker pool until a patch is available. Note that IP allowlisting does not address insider threat or already-compromised low-privilege accounts.

Technical ContextAI · show details
GoClaw is a Go-based application developed by nextlevelbuilder. The vulnerable code resides in internal/http/tts_config.go, specifically within the handleSave function of what is described as the RoleAdmin Gateway - a component likely responsible for routing or enforcing role-based access control over administrative TTS (text-to-speech) configuration operations. The root cause is classified as CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management), meaning the application fails to correctly enforce privilege boundaries when saving configuration data through this gateway. This class of flaw typically arises when role checks are absent, bypassable, or applied inconsistently - allowing a lower-privileged role to invoke functionality intended only for administrators. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:nextlevelbuilder:goclaw:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all versions without a lower bound, indicating the version range is not precisely constrained beyond the stated upper limit of 3.11.3.
