Overview

openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization via the persistent /dreaming on and /dreaming off command handlers, which omit owner permission checks. An authorized but non-owner external-channel sender can issue these commands to enable or disable the Gateway's Memory Core dreaming behavior, disabling background memory processing or re-enabling durable memory promotion where the owner expected it to remain disabled. The practical confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact depends on stored conversation material and subsequent memory use.
