Overview
openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information via the iOS Share Extension, which stores Gateway credentials (relay token and password) as cleartext JSON in App Group UserDefaults instead of the device-bound Keychain. An attacker who obtains an unencrypted Finder/iTunes backup or extracts the App Group container from a jailbroken or forensically imaged device can recover valid Gateway tokens and passwords and authenticate with operator authority.
Note: This is only exploitable when the attacker has prior access to an unencrypted device backup or an extracted App Group container from a jailbroken or forensically imaged device, and a Share relay is configured.
