VLAI
Summary
OpenClaw: `session_status` sessionId resolution bypasses sandboxed session-tree visibility
Details

Summary

session_status sessionId resolution bypasses sandboxed session-tree visibility

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw
  • Affected versions: >= 2026.3.11, <= 2026.3.24
  • First patched version: 2026.3.25
  • Latest published npm version at verification time: 2026.3.24

Details

session_status previously resolved a sessionId to a canonical session key after early visibility checks, letting sandboxed children reach parent or sibling sessions that were blocked by explicit sessionKey. Commit d9810811b6c3c9266d7580f00574e5e02f7663de enforces visibility after sessionId resolution so sandboxed callers cannot escape their session tree.

Verified vulnerable on tag v2026.3.24 and fixed on main by commit d9810811b6c3c9266d7580f00574e5e02f7663de.

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.
