AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in nextlevelbuilder GoClaw versions 3.13.3-beta.0 through 3.13.3-beta.3 involves improper authorization in the ExecTool.Execute function located in goclaw/internal/tools/credentialed_exec.go. An attacker can remotely manipulate this function to bypass authorization controls. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and low to low impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although exploit code is publicly available, no active exploitation has been reported. The vendor has not provided an official fix or remediation at this time.
Potential Impact
