AI-suggested

A fix is available in OpenClaw version 2026.3.31 and later. Users should upgrade to this version or newer to remediate the authentication bypass vulnerability. No other mitigation steps are indicated.

Description

OpenClaw versions before 2026.3.31 have an authentication bypass vulnerability (CWE-862) that allows unauthenticated access to plugin-auth HTTP routes with operator runtime write privileges. This enables attackers to perform privileged runtime actions without proper authorization.
