OpenClaw 2026.3.28 before 2026.5.19 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the browser act route that fails to properly validate current-tab URL checks. Attackers with lower-trust access or configured input paths can perform actions requiring stronger authorization or policy checks.
AnalysisAI
Authorization bypass in OpenClaw (versions 2026.3.28 through before 2026.5.19) allows low-privileged network attackers to exploit the browser act route's failure to validate current-tab URLs, enabling Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) that crosses authorization boundaries into restricted resources. The CVSS 4.0 scope-change metrics (SC:H/SI:L with VC:N/VI:N/VA:N) reveal that the primary impact falls on subsequent systems rather than OpenClaw itself - meaning attackers can reach internal resources or perform policy-restricted actions using their laundered, lower-trust credentials. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a network-accessible OpenClaw instance running versions 2026.3.28 through before 2026.5.19, and the attacker must hold valid low-trust credentials sufficient to invoke the browser act route (PR:L per CVSS 4.0). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.1 reflects medium severity, but the vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N with SC:H warrants careful reading: attackers need network access and low-level credentials (PR:L), and the AT:P constraint means specific attack prerequisites - such as lower-trust roles being configured with act route access or attacker-influenceable input paths - must be in place, limiting the exploitable population relative to a pure AC:L/AT:N scenario. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A low-privileged OpenClaw user with a configured input path crafts a request to the browser act route referencing a URL pointing to a sensitive internal resource such as an internal metadata service, admin API, or back-end system behind an authorization layer. The application, failing to validate the current-tab URL context, proxies the request on the attacker's behalf and returns data from the internal target, bypassing both the URL allowlist and the higher authorization tier that would normally gate access. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade to OpenClaw 2026.5.19 or later, which resolves the authorization bypass in the browser act route per the vendor advisory at https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-x863-pqjw-hmgf. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
