EPSS · scored 2026-10-28

OpenClaw before 2026.4.27 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in QQBot pre-dispatch slash commands that allows authenticated senders to skip allowFrom policy checks. Attackers can invoke slash commands before configured access control policies are applied, potentially triggering command handling from blocked senders depending on operator configuration.

  • WID-SEC-W-2026-1738OpenClaw: Mehrere SchwachstellenDeutsch2026-05-28csaf · cert_bundDE

    Ein entfernter, authentisierter Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in OpenClaw ausnutzen, um Sicherheitsmechanismen zu umgehen, erhöhte Berechtigungen zu erlangen, Informationen offenzulegen, Konfigurationen zu manipulieren, beliebige Befehle oder Code auszuführen sowie interne Systeme über SSRF anzugreifen.

  • GHSA-77pv-3w4q-vrj5OpenClaw: QQBot pre-dispatch slash commands could skip allowFrom checks2026-07-02ghsa · osvUS

    ### Summary QQBot pre-dispatch slash commands could skip allowFrom checks. In affected versions, a QQBot sender able to invoke slash commands could dispatch the command before applying the configured allowFrom policy. This advisory is scoped to the named feature and configuration. It does not change OpenClaw's trusted-operator model: authenticated Gateway operators, installed plugins, and intentional local execution surfaces remain trusted unless a separate policy, approval, allowlist, sandbox, or auth boundary is crossed. ### Impact When the affected feature is enabled and reachable, this could trigger command handling from a sender that policy should have blocked. Practical impact depends on the operator's configuration and whether lower-trust input can reach that path. ### Patched Versions The first stable patched version is `2026.4.27`. ### Mitigations restrict QQBot slash command exposure until patched. As general hardening, keep channel and tool allowlists narrow, avoid sharing one Gateway between mutually untrusted users, and disable the affected feature when it is not needed.
