MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Authentication with a low-privileged account is required - CVSS PR:L confirms this is not an unauthenticated attack vector. Any user holding a valid GoClaw account, regardless of their assigned role or permission tier, can potentially trigger the vulnerable code path by invoking the team task completion function. No non-default configuration, special deployment mode, or specific feature flag is identified as a prerequisite beyond having account access to a GoClaw instance. Exploitation is limited by the authentication requirement (PR:L), the narrow impact scope (integrity only, no confidentiality or availability impact), and the absence of privilege escalation - attackers cannot gain elevated access or execute arbitrary code. Deployments where all users are fully trusted (e.g., internal team tools with vetted staff only) face negligible realistic risk. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 2.1 (Very Low) accurately reflects the constrained impact profile: the attack vector is network (AV:N), complexity is low (AC:L), but low privileges are required (PR:L), meaning unauthenticated exploitation is not possible. Impact is limited to low integrity violation on the vulnerable component (VI:L) with no confidentiality or availability consequence. The exploit maturity modifier E:P in the CVSS vector is consistent with the confirmed POC availability via GitHub. The absence of EPSS data and KEV listing suggests this is not widely or actively exploited. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag is potentially misleading - this is not a full authentication bypass but a post-authentication authorization gap. Real-world risk is low: an attacker needs a valid account and can only corrupt task completion state, not exfiltrate data or execute code. Organizations running GoClaw as an internal tool with a small, trusted user base face minimal practical exposure; however, deployments with external or untrusted users sharing accounts face a higher risk of workflow disruption through fraudulent task completion. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A low-privileged user with a valid GoClaw account - such as a team member with read-only or basic contributor access - sends a crafted HTTP request targeting the TeamTasksTool.executeComplete endpoint, exploiting the missing authorization check to complete team tasks assigned to others or restricted to higher-privileged roles. A publicly available POC is referenced in GitHub issue #1133, providing concrete guidance for replication. The practical outcome is workflow integrity disruption: an attacker can falsely advance project state by marking incomplete tasks as done, potentially triggering automated downstream processes or obscuring actual work progress. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 02, 2026
Missing authorization in nextlevelbuilder GoClaw up to version 3.11.3 allows low-privileged remote attackers to trigger unauthorized team task completions via the TeamTasksTool.executeComplete function. The flaw, classified as CWE-862, permits any authenticated user to bypass permission checks in the Team Task Completion Handler, falsely marking tasks as complete regardless of their authorization level. A publicly available exploit exists (referenced in GitHub issue #1133), though no public exploit confirmed in active exploitation - the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, and its CVSS 4.0 score of 2.1 reflects the limited integrity-only impact.
RemediationAI
No specific patched release version has been confirmed in the available data - the fix status should be actively monitored against the GitHub repository at https://github.com/nextlevelbuilder/goclaw and the VulDB advisory at https://vuldb.com/vuln/367925. The project has acknowledged this as a bug (GitHub issue #1133 at https://github.com/nextlevelbuilder/goclaw/issues/1133), indicating a fix may be forthcoming. As an interim compensating control, restrict access to the team task completion API endpoint to only users with explicitly authorized roles via an API gateway, reverse proxy ACL, or middleware layer - this avoids modifying application code but introduces an operational dependency on network-layer enforcement. Alternatively, if team task completion is not required for all user roles, disable or restrict the feature at the application configuration level. Once a patched version above 3.11.3 is released and independently confirmed, upgrade immediately. Note that network-layer mitigations do not address the root authorization defect and should be treated as temporary.

Technical ContextAI · show details
GoClaw is a project management and task orchestration application developed by nextlevelbuilder, hosted on GitHub. The vulnerability exists in the function TeamTasksTool.executeComplete within internal/tools/team_tasks_lifecycle.go, which handles the lifecycle transition of team tasks to a completed state. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) identifies the root cause as a failure to verify whether the calling user holds sufficient permissions before executing the task completion action - the function performs the operation without an adequate authorization gate. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:nextlevelbuilder:goclaw:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all versions through 3.11.3 as affected. Despite being tagged 'Authentication Bypass,' the more precise characterization is a broken access control scenario: authentication is required (PR:L in CVSS), but the authorization check within the handler is absent or insufficient.
