Title

OpenClaw < 2026.2.23 - ACP Permission Auto-Approval Bypass via Untrusted Tool Metadata

Summary

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.23 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the ACP client that auto-approves tool calls based on untrusted toolCall.kind metadata and permissive name heuristics. Attackers can bypass interactive approval prompts for read-class operations by spoofing tool metadata or using non-core read-like names to reach auto-approve paths.

Vulnerability from osv_homebrew – Published: 2026-08-13 17:21 – Updated: 2026-09-25 08:57 – Source website

Summary

OpenClaw ACP client has permission auto-approval bypass via untrusted tool metadata

Details

Vulnerability Summary

The OpenClaw ACP client could auto-approve tool calls based on untrusted metadata and permissive name heuristics. A malicious or compromised ACP tool invocation could bypass expected interactive approval prompts for read-class operations.

Affected Packages / Versions

Package: npm openclaw
Affected published versions: <= 2026.2.22-2 (latest published as of February 24, 2026 is 2026.2.22-2)
Patched in code on main: 2026.2.23 (released)

Technical Details

Permission classification trusted incoming toolCall.kind and heuristic name matching.
Non-core read-like names and spoofed kind metadata could reach auto-approve paths.
read operations were not scoped strongly enough to cwd in all metadata/title forms.

Fix

Require trusted core tool IDs for auto-approval and ignore untrusted toolCall.kind as an authorization source.
Scope read auto-approval to cwd-resolved paths.
Add stricter tool-name validation and regression coverage for spoofed kind and non-core read-like names.

Affected Functions

resolvePermissionRequest
resolveToolNameForPermission
shouldAutoApproveToolCall

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-27 22:08 – Updated: 2026-03-30 13:44

Summary

OpenClaw ACP client has permission auto-approval bypass via untrusted tool metadata

Details

Vulnerability Summary

Affected Packages / Versions

Package: npm openclaw
Affected published versions: <= 2026.2.22-2 (latest published as of February 24, 2026 is 2026.2.22-2)
Patched in code on main: 2026.2.23 (released)

Technical Details

Permission classification trusted incoming toolCall.kind and heuristic name matching.
Non-core read-like names and spoofed kind metadata could reach auto-approve paths.
read operations were not scoped strongly enough to cwd in all metadata/title forms.

Fix

Require trusted core tool IDs for auto-approval and ignore untrusted toolCall.kind as an authorization source.
Scope read auto-approval to cwd-resolved paths.
Add stricter tool-name validation and regression coverage for spoofed kind and non-core read-like names.

Affected Functions

resolvePermissionRequest
resolveToolNameForPermission
shouldAutoApproveToolCall

A malicious or compromised ACP tool invocation could bypass expected interactive approval prompts for read-class operations.\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n\n- Package: npm `openclaw`\n- Affected published versions: `\u003c= 2026.2.22-2` (latest published as of February 24, 2026 is `2026.2.22-2`)\n- Patched in code on `main`: `2026.2.23` (released)\n\n## Technical Details\n\n- Permission classification trusted incoming `toolCall.kind` and heuristic name matching.\n- Non-core read-like names and spoofed kind metadata could reach auto-approve paths.\n- `read` operations were not scoped strongly enough to cwd in all metadata/title forms.\n\n## Fix\n\n- Require trusted core tool IDs for auto-approval and ignore untrusted `toolCall.kind` as an authorization source.\n- Scope `read` auto-approval to cwd-resolved paths.\n- Add stricter tool-name validation and regression coverage for spoofed kind and non-core read-like names.\n\n## Affected Functions\n\n- `resolvePermissionRequest`\n- `resolveToolNameForPermission`\n- `shouldAutoApproveToolCall`\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n\n- `12cc754332f9a7c92e158ce7644aa22df79c0904`\n- `63dcd28ae0be2de1c75af09cc81841cebeec068f`\n\nFound using [MCPwner](https://github.com/Pigyon/MCPwner)\n\n\nThanks @nedlir for reporting.",
