CVE-2026-32034
|
| Summary | OpenClaw has an opt-in insecure Control UI auth over plaintext HTTP could allow privileged access ## Description In affected releases, when an operator explicitly enabled `gateway.controlUi.allowInsecureAuth: true` and exposed the gateway over plaintext HTTP, Control UI authentication could permit privileged operator access without the intended device identity + pairing guarantees. This required an insecure deployment choice and credential exposure risk (for example, plaintext transit or prior token leak). It was fixed on `main` in commit `40a292619e1f2be3a3b1db663d7494c9c2dc0abf` ([PR #20684](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/pull/20684)). ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected published versions: `<= 2026.2.19-2` - Planned patched version: `2026.2.21` ## Impact In these explicitly insecure deployments, an attacker with leaked/intercepted credentials could obtain high-privilege Control UI access. ## Fix Commit(s) - `40a292619e1f2be3a3b1db663d7494c9c2dc0abf` (merged 2026-02-20) OpenClaw thanks @Vasco0x4 for reporting. |
