CVE-2026-32051

HIGH

OpenClaw < 2026.3.1 - Authorization Bypass in Agent Runs via Owner-Only Tool Access

Title source: cna
STIX 2.1

Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.1 contain an authorization mismatch vulnerability that allows authenticated callers with operator.write scope to invoke owner-only tool surfaces including gateway and cron through agent runs in scoped-token deployments. Attackers with write-scope access can perform control-plane actions beyond their intended authorization level by exploiting inconsistent owner-only gating during agent execution.
