NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openclaw package and not the openclaw package as distributed by Minimos. See How to fix? for Minimos:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Control UI that allows unauthenticated sessions to retain self-declared privileged scopes without device identity verification. Attackers can exploit the device-less allow path in the trusted-proxy mechanism to maintain elevated permissions by declaring arbitrary scopes, bypassing device identity requirements.
