BREW-OPENCLAW-CLI-CVE-20… (GHSA-5HFF-46VH-RXMW)

Vulnerability from osv_homebrew – Published: 2026-08-13 17:21 – Updated: 2026-09-25 08:57 – Source website

Summary

OpenClaw: Read-scoped identity-bearing HTTP clients could kill sessions via /sessions/:sessionKey/kill

Details

Summary

Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, POST /sessions/:sessionKey/kill did not enforce write scopes in identity-bearing HTTP modes. A caller limited to read-only operator scopes could still terminate a running subagent session.

Impact

A read-scoped caller could perform a write-class control-plane mutation and interrupt delegated work. This was an authorization bug on the HTTP scope boundary, not a shared-secret compatibility exception.

Affected Packages / Versions

Package: openclaw (npm)
Affected versions: <= 2026.4.1
Patched versions: >= 2026.4.2
Latest published npm version: 2026.4.1

Fix Commit(s)

54a0878517167c6e49900498cf77420dadb74beb — enforce session-kill HTTP scopes

Release Process Note

The fix is present on main and is staged for OpenClaw 2026.4.2. Publish this advisory after the 2026.4.2 npm release is live.

Thanks @EaEa0001 for reporting.
