Summary
OpenClaw may have stale policy enforcement for queued node actions
Details

Summary

Queued node actions were not revalidated against current command policy when later delivered, so stale allowlists or declarations could survive policy tightening.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected: < 2026.3.22
  • Fixed: >= 2026.3.22
  • Latest released tag checked: v2026.3.23-2 (630f1479c44f78484dfa21bb407cbe6f171dac87)
  • Latest published npm version checked: 2026.3.23-2

Fix Commit(s)

  • ec2c6d83b9f5f91d6d9094842e0f19b88e63e3e2

Release Status

The fix shipped in v2026.3.22 and remains present in v2026.3.23 and v2026.3.23-2.

Code-Level Confirmation

  • src/gateway/server-methods/nodes.ts now revalidates queued actions against the current allowlist and declared command set at delivery time.
  • src/gateway/server-methods/nodes.invoke-wake.test.ts includes the shipped stale-queue regression coverage.

OpenClaw thanks @zpbrent for reporting.

GHSA-WM8R-W8PF-2V6W

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-02 22:14 – Updated: 2026-03-20 21:36
VLAI
Summary
OpenClaw has Signal group allowlist authorization bypass via DM pairing-store leakage
Details

Summary

In OpenClaw 2026.2.25, Signal group authorization under groupPolicy=allowlist could accept sender identities sourced from DM pairing-store approvals. This allowed DM pairing approvals to leak into group allowlist evaluation.

Impact

This is an authorization-boundary weakness between DM pairing and group allowlist controls. A sender approved for DM pairing could pass group checks without explicit group allowlisting.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Latest published version affected: 2026.2.25
  • Vulnerable range: <= 2026.2.25
  • Patched version (planned next release): >= 2026.2.26

Fix

OpenClaw now keeps DM pairing-store entries DM-only and enforces explicit group allowlist boundaries in shared DM/group policy resolution used by Signal and other channels.

Fix Commit(s)

  • 8bdda7a651c21e98faccdbbd73081e79cffe8be0
  • 64de4b6d6ae81e269ceb4ca16f53cda99ced967a

Release Process Note

patched_versions is pre-set to the planned next release (2026.2.26). After npm publish of that version, this advisory is ready to publish without further content edits.

Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-03-07 20:04 – Updated: 2023-03-07 20:04
VLAI
Summary
OpenSearch has issue with fine-grained access control of indices backing data streams
Details

Impact

There is an issue with the implementation of fine-grained access control rules (document-level security, field-level security and field masking) where they are not correctly applied to the indices that back data streams potentially leading to incorrect access authorization. This issue can only be triggered by authenticated users authorized to read those data streams which are backed by the impacted indexes. Additionally, existing privileged users cannot access random indexes within these clusters; they can only access indexes to which they have already been granted permission.

Patches

OpenSearch 1.3.7 and 2.4.0 contain a fix for this issue.

Workarounds

There is no recommended work around.

If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, please contact AWS/Amazon Security via our issue reporting page (https://aws.amazon.com/security/vulnerability-reporting/) or directly via email to aws-security@amazon.com. Please do not create a public GitHub issue.

This issue can only be triggered by authenticated users authorized to read those data streams which are backed by the impacted indexes. Additionally, existing privileged users cannot access random indexes within these clusters; they can only access indexes to which they have already been granted permission.\n\n### Patches\nOpenSearch 1.3.7 and 2.4.0 contain a fix for this issue.\n\n### Workarounds\nThere is no recommended work around.\n\n### For more information\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory, please contact AWS/Amazon Security via our issue reporting page (https://aws.amazon.com/security/vulnerability-reporting/) or directly via email to aws-security@amazon.com.

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.
