Summary
Zitadel is missing enforcement of organization scopes
Details

Summary

A vulnerability in Zitadel's OAuth2/OIDC interface, which allowed users to bypass organization enforcement during authentication.

Impact

Zitadel allows applications to enforce an organzation context during authentication using scopes (urn:zitadel:iam:org:id:{id} and urn:zitadel:iam:org:domain:primary:{domainname}). If enforced, a user needs to be part of the required organization to sign in.

While this was properly enforced for OAuth2/OIDC authorization requests in login V1, corresponding controls were missing for device authorization requests and all login V2 and OIDC API V2 endpoints. This allowed users to bypass the restriction and sign in with users from other organizations.

Note that this enforcement allows for an additional check during authentication and applications relying on authorizations / roles assignments are not affected by this bypass.

Affected Versions

Systems running one of the following versions are affected: - 4.x: 4.0.0 through 4.12.2 (including RC versions) - 3.x: 3.0.0 through 3.4.8 (including RC versions)

Patches

The vulnerability has been addressed in the latest releases. The patch resolves the issue by validating the provided scopes and enforcing the organization existence when processing the authorization request. Additionally it will prevent the use of a session of a user which does not belong to the required organization on the OIDC service endpoints (CreateCallback and Authorize or Deny Device Authorization endpoints).

4.x: Upgrade to >=4.12.3 3.x: Update to >=3.4.9

Workarounds

The recommended solution is to upgrade to a patched version.

Summary
OpenClaw iMessage group allowlist authorization inherited DM pairing-store identities
Details

Summary

Under iMessage groupPolicy=allowlist, group authorization could be satisfied by sender identities coming from the DM pairing store, broadening DM trust into group contexts.

Details

Affected component: src/imessage/monitor/monitor-provider.ts.

Vulnerable logic derived effectiveGroupAllowFrom using both the static group allowlist and DM pairing-store identities (storeAllowFrom). This allowed a sender approved via DM pairing to satisfy group authorization in groups even if the sender/chat was not explicitly present in groupAllowFrom.

This weakens boundary separation between DM pairing and group allowlist authorization.

Summary

Incomplete scope-clearing fix allows operator.admin escalation via trusted-proxy auth mode

Current Maintainer Triage

  • Normalized severity: high
  • Assessment: v2026.3.28 still misses trusted-proxy scope clearing for non-Control-UI clients, so self-declared operator scopes can survive on a real identity-bearing auth path; the complete fix is unreleased.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Latest published npm version: 2026.3.31
  • Vulnerable version range: <=2026.3.28
  • Patched versions: >= 2026.3.31
  • First stable tag containing the fix: v2026.3.31

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
  • Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].

Mitigation MIT-4.4
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
  • For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
  • One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
System Configuration Installation

Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
