AI-suggested

A fix is available in OpenClaw for iOS version 2026.8.11 and later, which stores Gateway credentials securely in the device Keychain. Users and administrators should update to version 2026.8.11 or newer to remediate this vulnerability. If you cannot patch yet, avoid creating unencrypted device backups and restrict access to App Group containers to trusted parties only.

Description

OpenClaw for iOS before 2026.8.11 stores Gateway credentials as cleartext JSON in App Group UserDefaults instead of the device Keychain. Attackers with access to unencrypted device backups or extracted App Group containers can recover valid Gateway tokens and passwords to authenticate with operator authority.
