CVE-2026-100603: Improper Control of Interaction Frequency in openclaw clawhub
ClawHub (openclaw/clawhub) application/backend contains a flaw in the skill report moderation flow: four distinct ordinary authenticated accounts can report a visible skill and trigger automatic hiding (moderationStatus: hidden) of that skill from the catalog without any moderator decision. Because the reporter quota counts only reports filed against visible targets, the same accounts can repeat the process against additional skills; official skills are not exempt. The issue was confirmed at revision cbfee7343ddc867316dd9b3de6fa8856730f9f41; the complete historical affected range was not established. The fix (PR #3681) is included in revision 8c2de6c506bb4efabe3f0c2ffb8370b9e23d4650; self-hosted deployments should update to that revision or a later descendant. The npm CLI and OpenClaw runtime are separate products and are not affected.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The ClawHub application contains a flaw in its skill report moderation mechanism where four distinct authenticated accounts can report a visible skill, triggering automatic hiding of that skill from the catalog without any moderator decision. The reporter quota only counts reports against visible targets, allowing repeated abuse against multiple skills, including official ones. The vulnerability was confirmed at revision cbfee7343ddc867316dd9b3de6fa8856730f9f41. The fix was introduced in revision 8c2de6c506bb4efabe3f0c2ffb8370b9e23d4650. The npm CLI and OpenClaw runtime are separate and unaffected products.
Potential Impact
An attacker with four authenticated accounts can cause arbitrary visible skills, including official ones, to be hidden automatically from the catalog without moderator review. This could disrupt the visibility and availability of legitimate skills in the system, potentially impacting user experience and trust in the platform. There is no indication of privilege escalation or data compromise from the provided information.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in revision 8c2de6c506bb4efabe3f0c2ffb8370b9e23d4650. Self-hosted deployments should update to this revision or a later descendant to remediate the vulnerability. The npm CLI and OpenClaw runtime are not affected and require no action.
