OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.1 contain an authorization mismatch vulnerability that allows authenticated callers with operator.write scope to invoke owner-only tool surfaces including gateway and cron through agent runs in scoped-token deployments. Attackers with write-scope access can perform control-plane actions beyond their intended authorization level by exploiting inconsistent owner-only gating during agent execution.

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in OpenClaw ausnutzen, um erweiterte Berechtigungen zu erlangen, Daten zu manipulieren, einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand herbeizuführen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen oder andere nicht näher spezifizierte Angriffe durchzuführen.
- GHSA-jr6x-2q95-fh2gOpenClaw's authorization mismatch allowed write-scope agent runs to reach owner-only tools2026-03-02ghsa · osvUS
### Summary An authorization mismatch allowed authenticated callers with `operator.write` access to invoke owner-only tool surfaces (`gateway`, `cron`) through `agent` runs in scoped-token deployments. ### Impact On affected deployments, write-scoped callers could perform control-plane actions beyond intended write scope. ### Fix Owner-only gating is now enforced consistently for owner-only tool surfaces during agent execution, and tool scope classification was tightened to remove the privilege mismatch. ### Affected and Patched Versions - Affected: `<= 2026.2.26` - Patched: `2026.3.1`
