Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-14 15:32 – Updated: 2026-08-14 18:31Netis NC63 router firmware V3.0.0.3327 contains an unauthenticated firmware update vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to submit unsigned firmware images by exploiting a missing authentication enforcement flaw in the Boa web server and netis.cgi CGI dispatcher. Attackers can send a multipart POST request to /cgi-bin/upload_fw.cgi without a valid session cookie, bypassing authentication because Boa grants access to any path containing '.cgi' regardless of cookie validation, and netis.cgi reads but does not enforce the authentication state before invoking the firmware update handler, which accepts images validated only by a forgeable additive checksum and static product strings rather than a cryptographic signature, potentially enabling persistent router compromise.

GHSA-MR32-VWC2-5J6H
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-17 16:45 – Updated: 2026-03-06 01:02Summary
In affected versions, the Browser Relay /cdp WebSocket endpoint did not require an authentication token. As a result, a website running in the browser could potentially connect to the local relay (via loopback WebSocket) and use CDP to access cookies from other open tabs and run JavaScript in the context of other tabs.
Affected Packages / Versions
- npm:
openclaw>= 2026.1.20, < 2026.2.1 - npm:
moltbot<= 0.1.0
Details
The Chrome extension Browser Relay service exposes a local WebSocket endpoint at ws://127.0.0.1:18792/cdp (default port) for forwarding Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) messages.
In affected versions, the /cdp upgrade path verified the TCP peer was loopback but did not require a shared secret and did not block browser-initiated cross-origin requests.
Impact
- Potential disclosure of sensitive information (for example, session cookies from other open tabs)
- Potential JavaScript execution in the context of other open tabs
Users must have the Browser Relay extension installed and active, and must visit an untrusted site.
Fix
openclaw now requires a per-instance shared secret header for Browser Relay access:
- HTTP header: x-openclaw-relay-token
It also rejects /cdp WebSocket upgrades when the Origin header is present but is not chrome-extension://..., and refuses /cdp connections unless the extension is connected.
Fix Commit(s)
a1e89afcc19efd641c02b24d66d689f181ae2b5c
Releases
openclaw@2026.2.1includes the fix.- Latest published
openclawat time of writing:2026.2.13.
Mitigation
- Update to
openclaw@>= 2026.2.1. - If you cannot update immediately, disable the Browser Relay extension / relay server and avoid visiting untrusted sites.
Thanks @johnatzeropath, @LeftenantZero, and @yueyueL for reporting.

GHSA-MV3C-R45J-34F2
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-10-06 18:31 – Updated: 2026-10-06 18:31Dell Container Storage Modules (CSM), versions prior to 1.18.0, contains a Missing Authentication for Critical Function vulnerability in the csm-authorization-tenant gRPC service (TenantService). An unauthenticated adjacent network attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to unauthorized creation of tenant entities, cross-tenant role injection, and modification of storage access control flags.

Mitigation
- Divide the software into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Identify which of these areas require a proven user identity, and use a centralized authentication capability.
- Identify all potential communication channels, or other means of interaction with the software, to ensure that all channels are appropriately protected, including those channels that are assumed to be accessible only by authorized parties. Developers sometimes perform authentication at the primary channel, but open up a secondary channel that is assumed to be private. For example, a login mechanism may be listening on one network port, but after successful authentication, it may open up a second port where it waits for the connection, but avoids authentication because it assumes that only the authenticated party will connect to the port.
- In general, if the software or protocol allows a single session or user state to persist across multiple connections or channels, authentication and appropriate credential management need to be used throughout.
Mitigation MIT-15
For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks entirely. Then, these modified values would be submitted to the server.
Mitigation
- Where possible, avoid implementing custom, "grow-your-own" authentication routines and consider using authentication capabilities as provided by the surrounding framework, operating system, or environment. These capabilities may avoid common weaknesses that are unique to authentication; support automatic auditing and tracking; and make it easier to provide a clear separation between authentication tasks and authorization tasks.
- In environments such as the World Wide Web, the line between authentication and authorization is sometimes blurred. If custom authentication routines are required instead of those provided by the server, then these routines must be applied to every single page, since these pages could be requested directly.
Mitigation MIT-4.5
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using libraries with authentication capabilities such as OpenSSL or the ESAPI Authenticator [REF-45].
Mitigation
When storing data in the cloud (e.g., S3 buckets, Azure blobs, Google Cloud Storage, etc.), use the provider's controls to require strong authentication for users who should be allowed to access the data [REF-1297] [REF-1298] [REF-1302].
CAPEC-12: Choosing Message Identifier
This pattern of attack is defined by the selection of messages distributed via multicast or public information channels that are intended for another client by determining the parameter value assigned to that client. This attack allows the adversary to gain access to potentially privileged information, and to possibly perpetrate other attacks through the distribution means by impersonation. If the channel/message being manipulated is an input rather than output mechanism for the system, (such as a command bus), this style of attack could be used to change the adversary's identifier to more a privileged one.
CAPEC-166: Force the System to Reset Values
An attacker forces the target into a previous state in order to leverage potential weaknesses in the target dependent upon a prior configuration or state-dependent factors. Even in cases where an attacker may not be able to directly control the configuration of the targeted application, they may be able to reset the configuration to a prior state since many applications implement reset functions.
CAPEC-216: Communication Channel Manipulation
An adversary manipulates a setting or parameter on communications channel in order to compromise its security. This can result in information exposure, insertion/removal of information from the communications stream, and/or potentially system compromise.
CAPEC-36: Using Unpublished Interfaces or Functionality
An adversary searches for and invokes interfaces or functionality that the target system designers did not intend to be publicly available. If interfaces fail to authenticate requests, the attacker may be able to invoke functionality they are not authorized for.
CAPEC-62: Cross Site Request Forgery
An attacker crafts malicious web links and distributes them (via web pages, email, etc.), typically in a targeted manner, hoping to induce users to click on the link and execute the malicious action against some third-party application. If successful, the action embedded in the malicious link will be processed and accepted by the targeted application with the users' privilege level. This type of attack leverages the persistence and implicit trust placed in user session cookies by many web applications today. In such an architecture, once the user authenticates to an application and a session cookie is created on the user's system, all following transactions for that session are authenticated using that cookie including potential actions initiated by an attacker and simply "riding" the existing session cookie.
