MEDIUM

OpenClaw < 2026.3.22 - Settings Reconciliation Bypass via Empty Allowlist

Title source: cna
STIX 2.1

Description

OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains a settings reconciliation vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass intended deny-all revocations by exploiting empty allowlist handling. The vulnerability treats explicit empty allowlists as unset during reconciliation, silently undoing intended access control denials and restoring previously revoked permissions.
