GHSA-R65X-2HQR-J5HF
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-03 00:40 – Updated: 2026-03-20 21:12Summary
A paired node device could reconnect with spoofed platform/deviceFamily metadata and broaden node command policy eligibility because reconnect metadata was accepted from the client while these fields were not bound into the device-auth signature.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Affected versions:
<= 2026.2.25 - Latest published version at update time:
2026.2.25 - Patched version (pre-set for next release):
2026.2.26
Impact
In configurations where node command policy differs by platform, an attacker with an already paired node identity on the trusted network could spoof reconnect metadata and gain access to commands that should remain blocked for the originally paired platform.
Fix
- Add device-auth payload
v3that signs normalizedplatformanddeviceFamily. - Verify
v3first (fallback tov2for compatibility), while pinning paired metadata server-side. - Reject reconnect metadata mismatches and require explicit repair pairing to change pinned metadata.
- Add regression coverage for reconnect spoof attempts.
Fix Commit(s)
7d8aeaaf06e2e616545d2c2cec7fa27f36b59b6a
Release Process Note
patched_versions is pre-set to the planned next release 2026.2.26; once that npm release is published, the advisory can be published without further field edits.
OpenClaw thanks @76embiid21 for reporting.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-03-10 00:00 – Updated: 2022-04-17 17:13The software is a booking management system that has a public form to place bookings, and a private area for the calendar and management of services, users, settings, etc. There is a backend API that allows data manipulation, including listing the appointments for a specific time range. This happens on this endpoint: /index.php/backend_api/ajax_get_calendar_events Unfortunately, there is no authentication / permissions-check on that endpoint, the only required parameters in a POST request are "startDate", "endDate" and "csrfToken". Because the csrfToken can be obtained by any unauthenticated user just visiting the public form (and is valid for the backend as well), any attacker can query the backend API and obtain all sorts of private information about the appointment, in JSON format.

Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
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 authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
