Description
OpenClaw versions before 2026.3.28 have a privilege escalation vulnerability (CWE-269) that allows authenticated operators with write permissions to access and modify admin-level Telegram configuration and cron persistence settings via the send endpoint. This occurs due to insufficient access controls on sensitive administrative functionality.
