Description

OpenClaw versions from 2026.4.10 up to but not including 2026.7.1 have a vulnerability where persistent memory dreaming commands can be issued by authorized users who are not owners, bypassing owner permission checks. This allows such users to enable or disable the Gateway's Memory Core dreaming behavior, potentially affecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of stored conversation data. The vulnerability is fixed in version 2026.7.1. Mitigation includes disabling dreaming commands in external channels or restricting command access to owners.

Technical Analysis

OpenClaw, an agent gateway distributed via npm, contains a vulnerability in versions >=2026.4.10 and <2026.7.1 where persistent memory dreaming mutations omit owner permission checks. An authorized but non-owner external-channel sender can issue persistent '/dreaming on' and '/dreaming off' commands to control the Gateway's Memory Core dreaming behavior, which disables or re-enables background memory processing contrary to owner expectations. Read-only and help commands remain properly controlled. The vulnerability is addressed in version 2026.7.1.

Potential Impact

An authorized user who is not the owner can manipulate the Gateway's memory dreaming state, potentially disrupting background memory processing or durable memory promotion. This can affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of stored conversation material depending on how memory is used subsequently. The impact is limited to authorized users with external-channel access but not ownership.

Mitigation Recommendations

The issue is fixed in OpenClaw version 2026.7.1. Until upgrading, it is recommended to disable dreaming commands in external channels or restrict command access to owners to prevent unauthorized memory dreaming state changes.
