CVE-2026-100604: Incorrect Authorization in openclaw clawhub
CVE-2026-100604 is an incorrect authorization vulnerability in the ClawHub backend where organization-owned skills retain the original publisher's user ID. This flaw allows an authenticated user who originally published a skill to transfer, delete, or restore it even after losing organization privileges. The issue was fixed in revision 8c2de6c506bb4efabe3f0c2ffb8370b9e23d4650, deployed on 2026-09-11. Self-hosted deployments should update to this revision or later. The npm CLI and OpenClaw runtime are not affected.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability in ClawHub arises because organization-owned skills keep the ownerUserId of their original publisher, and authorization checks rely on this historical user rather than current organization privileges. Consequently, an authenticated user who originally published an organization skill can manipulate it (transfer, delete, restore) despite revoked or downgraded privileges. The flaw was confirmed at revision cbfee7343ddc867316dd9b3de6fa8856730f9f41. It was fixed by PR #3680, included in revision 8c2de6c506bb4efabe3f0c2ffb8370b9e23d4650, which was deployed to clawhub.ai on 2026-09-11. Self-hosted users must update to this revision or newer. The npm CLI and OpenClaw runtime products are unaffected.
Potential Impact
An authenticated user who originally published an organization skill can retain control over that skill by transferring, deleting, or restoring it even after their organization privileges have been revoked or downgraded. This could lead to unauthorized manipulation of trusted skills within the organization, potentially undermining trust and operational integrity.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in revision 8c2de6c506bb4efabe3f0c2ffb8370b9e23d4650, deployed on 2026-09-11. Users of the cloud-hosted clawhub.ai service are protected by this deployment. 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.
