If this was not manually changed, a malicious actor with network access to the build cache could potentially populate it with manipulated entries that execute malicious code as part of a build. As of 2021.4.2, the built-in build cache is inaccessible-by-default, requiring explicit configuration of its access-control settings before it can be used.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 17:33 – Updated: 2023-10-16 18:30A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco SD-WAN vManage Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to bypass authorization and modify the configuration of an affected system. The vulnerability is due to insufficient authorization checking on an affected system. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests to the web-based management interface of an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to gain privileges beyond what would normally be authorized for their configured user authorization level. This could allow the attacker to modify the configuration of an affected system.

GHSA-RV2Q-F2H5-6XMG
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-03 23:32 – Updated: 2026-03-20 21:13Summary
A client authenticated with a shared gateway token could connect as role=node without device identity/pairing, then call node.event to trigger agent.request and voice.transcript flows.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: npm
openclaw - Affected versions:
<= 2026.2.21-2 - Patched version:
2026.2.22(planned next release)
Details
The WebSocket connect path allowed device-less bypass whenever shared auth succeeded. That bypass did not restrict role, so a client could claim role=node with no device identity and still pass handshake auth. Because node.event is node-role allowed, this enabled unauthorized node event injection into agent-trigger flows.
Impact
Unauthorized node.event injection can trigger agent execution and voice transcript flows for clients that only hold the shared gateway token, without node device pairing.
Remediation
Upgrade to 2026.2.22 (or newer) once published. The fix requires device identity for role=node connects, even when shared-token auth succeeds.
Fix Commit(s)
- ddcb2d79b17bf2a42c5037d8aeff1537a12b931e
Release Process Note
patched_versions is pre-set to the planned next release so once npm release 2026.2.22 is out, advisory publish is a single step.
OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.

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.
