FKIE_CVE-2026-32041

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-03-19 22:16 - Updated: 2026-06-17 10:34
Severity
6.9 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.1 fail to properly handle authentication bootstrap errors during startup, allowing browser-control routes to remain accessible without authentication. Local processes or loopback-reachable SSRF paths can exploit this to access browser-control routes including evaluate-capable actions without valid credentials.
