AI Analysis
Technical Summary
OpenClaw (npm package `openclaw`) before version 2026.7.1 fails to enforce the owner-only authorization requirement for Claude Code permission prompts delivered via the MCP channel bridge. An authorized non-owner channel sender with channel command access can improperly approve or deny pending permission requests meant for the owner, allowing the requested action to proceed without owner consent. The impact depends on the specific pending action and the host capabilities requested by the Claude Code run. This issue is resolved in version 2026.7.1.
Potential Impact
An attacker with channel command access but not owner privileges can bypass intended owner-only authorization controls to approve or deny permission requests. This can lead to unauthorized actions executing with potentially high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, as reflected by the CVSS score of 8.0.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.7.1 or later, where this authorization bypass vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated or required according to the vendor advisory.
