EPSS · scored 2026-10-27

OpenClaw before 2026.4.22 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the Control UI bootstrap config endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to read sensitive configuration fields. Attackers can access the bootstrap config route without a valid Gateway token to expose sensitive bootstrap and config information intended only for authenticated Control UI sessions.

  • GHSA-93rg-2xm5-2p9vOpenClaw's Gateway Control UI bootstrap config required Gateway auth2026-05-04ghsa · osvUS

    ## Summary Gateway Control UI bootstrap config required Gateway auth. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: openclaw (npm) - Affected versions: <= 2026.4.21 - Fixed version: 2026.4.22 ## Impact When Gateway authentication was enabled, the Control UI bootstrap config endpoint could still be read without a valid Gateway token. That response could expose sensitive bootstrap/config fields intended only for authenticated Control UI sessions. ## Fix The bootstrap config route now goes through the same Gateway read-auth path as other authenticated Control UI reads. Regression tests cover unauthenticated rejection, valid-token access, and basePath handling. ## Fix Commit(s) - 2321d67263bc710e357644d59f746b08d891051b ## Verification - The fix commit is contained in the public v2026.4.22 tag. - openclaw@2026.4.22 is published on npm and the compiled package contains the fix. - Focused regression coverage for this path passed before publication. OpenClaw thanks @zsxsoft for reporting.
