OpenClaw versions before 2026.4.8 fail to enforce integrity verification on downloaded plugin archives. Attackers can install malicious or tampered plugin packages without detection, compromising the local assistant environment.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a sender allowlist bypass vulnerability that allows remote attackers to access restricted messages. Attackers can exploit fetched quoted, root, and thread context messages to bypass sender allowlist restrictions and retrieve unauthorized content.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.8 fails to remove git plumbing environment variables from the execution environment before host exec operations. Attackers can exploit this by setting GIT_DIR and related variables to redirect git operations and compromise repository integrity.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability allowing authenticated operators with write permissions to access admin-class Talk Voice configuration persistence. Attackers with operator.write privileges can exploit the chat.send endpoint to reach and modify sensitive voice configuration settings intended for administrators only.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 misclassifies proxied remote requests as loopback connections in the diffs viewer when allowRemoteViewer is disabled, allowing unauthorized access. Attackers can bypass access controls by sending proxied requests that are incorrectly identified as local loopback traffic, circumventing intended remote viewer restrictions.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains an incomplete scope-clearing vulnerability in trusted-proxy authentication mode that allows operator.admin privilege escalation. Attackers can exploit this by declaring operator scopes on non-Control-UI clients, allowing self-declared scopes to persist on identity-bearing authentication paths and escalate privileges.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a resource exhaustion vulnerability in media downloads that bypasses core safety limits for file size, count, and cleanup operations. Attackers can exhaust disk space by downloading media files without triggering intended safety restrictions, causing availability impact.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.8 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in QQ Bot media download paths that bypass SSRF protection. Attackers can exploit unprotected media fetch endpoints to access internal resources and bypass allowlist policies.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains a webhook replay vulnerability in Plivo V3 signature verification that canonicalizes query ordering for signatures but hashes raw URLs for replay detection. Attackers can reorder query parameters to bypass replay cache detection and trigger duplicate voice-call processing with a captured valid signed webhook.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.2 contains a timing side channel vulnerability in shared-secret comparison call sites that use early length-mismatch checks instead of fixed-length comparison helpers. Attackers can measure timing differences to leak secret-length information, weakening constant-time handling for shared secrets.
