Description

A missing authorization vulnerability in @openclaw/whatsapp (npm) before version 2026.8.1 allows non-owner users to access an owner-only WhatsApp login tool. This flaw lets attackers request a forced login and obtain a new QR code for a configured account, disconnecting the Gateway's WhatsApp account and causing availability loss. Full account takeover requires scanning the QR code with another device. The issue is fixed in version 2026.8.1.
