Summary
OpenClaw: screen_record outPath bypassed workspace-only filesystem guard
Details

Summary

screen_record outPath bypassed workspace-only filesystem guard.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw
  • Ecosystem: npm
  • Affected versions: < 2026.4.10
  • Patched versions: >= 2026.4.10

Impact

The node-host screen recording tool could honor an outPath outside the workspace guard, allowing an authorized tool call to write outside the intended workspace boundary.

Technical Details

The fix applies the workspace-root guard to node tool outPath handling, including screen recording paths.

Fix

The issue was fixed in #63551. The first stable tag containing the fix is v2026.4.10, and openclaw@2026.4.14 includes the fix.

Fix Commit(s)

  • 635bb35b68d8faa5bfa2fda35feadd315122748a
  • PR: #63551

Release Process Note

Users should upgrade to openclaw 2026.4.10 or newer. The latest npm release, 2026.4.14, already includes the fix.

Credits

Thanks to @anshumanbh for reporting this issue.

Summary
OpenClaw: Write-scoped callers could reach admin-only session reset logic through `agent`
Details

Summary

In affected versions of openclaw, a gateway caller with operator.write could issue agent requests containing /new or /reset and reach the same reset path used by the admin-only sessions.reset RPC.

Impact

On gateways where a caller is intentionally granted operator.write but not operator.admin, that caller could reset targeted conversation state through agent slash commands. This crosses the documented method-scope boundary between write-scoped messaging and admin-only session mutation.

Affected Packages and Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected versions: <= 2026.3.8
  • Fixed in: 2026.3.11

Technical Details

Scope checks were enforced only on the outer RPC method. The agent slash-command path reused admin-only reset logic internally, so a write-scoped caller could reach session-reset mutation without holding operator.admin.

Fix

OpenClaw no longer routes conversation /new and /reset through the admin-only sessions.reset entry point. Reset logic now lives in a shared service, while sessions.reset remains admin-only. The fix shipped in openclaw@2026.3.11.

Workarounds

Upgrade to 2026.3.11 or later.

Details

Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) in Kibana can lead to information disclosure via Privilege Abuse (CAPEC-122). A user with limited Fleet privileges can exploit an internal API endpoint to retrieve sensitive configuration data, including private keys and authentication tokens, that should only be accessible to users with higher-level settings privileges. The endpoint composes its response by fetching full configuration objects and returning them directly, bypassing the authorization checks enforced by the dedicated settings APIs.

Details

An issue was discovered in Blue Prism Enterprise 6.0 through 7.01. In a misconfigured environment that exposes the Blue Prism Application server, it is possible for an authenticated user to reverse engineer the Blue Prism software and circumvent access controls for the getChartData administrative function. Using a low/no privilege Blue Prism user account, the attacker can alter the server's settings by abusing the getChartData method, allowing the Blue Prism server to execute any MSSQL stored procedure by name.

Using a low/no privilege Blue Prism user account, the attacker can alter the server\u0027s settings by abusing the getChartData method, allowing the Blue Prism server to execute any MSSQL stored procedure by name.",

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
  • Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].

Mitigation MIT-4.4
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
  • For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
  • One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
System Configuration Installation

Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
