CVE-2026-43579 — OpenClaw < 2026.4.10 - Insufficient Access Control in Nostr Profile Mutation Routes

Affected: OpenClaw

OpenClaw before 2026.4.10 contains an insufficient access control vulnerability in Nostr plugin HTTP profile routes that allows operators with write permissions to persist profile configuration without requiring admin authority. Attackers with operator.write scope can modify Nostr profile settings through unprotected mutation endpoints to gain unauthorized configuration persistence.
