Summary
OpenClaw: Node exec approvals could be replayed across nodes
Details

Summary

exec.approval requests for host=node were not explicitly bound to the target nodeId, so an approval intended for one node could be replayed for a different node under the same operator-controlled gateway fleet.

Impact

An operator approval for a system.run request could be reused across nodes if the request payload did not carry node identity through approval and execution checks.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected: <= 2026.2.22-2
  • Fixed: 2026.2.23 (released)

Mitigation

Upgrade to 2026.2.23 or later once published.

Fix Details

The fix requires and persists nodeId for host=node approval requests and rejects execution when the approving node binding does not match the invoking node.

Fix Commit(s)

  • 4a3f8438e527ac371a67fe7ac68a287f0dbe6063

Release Process Note

patched_versions is pre-set to the released version (2026.2.23). This advisory now reflects released fix version 2026.2.23.

OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-03 14:50 – Updated: 2026-03-03 14:50
VLAI
Summary
Rancher has downstream cluster privilege escalation through cluster and project role template binding (CRTB/PRTB)
Details

Impact

An issue was discovered in Rancher versions up to and including 2.5.15 and 2.6.6 where a flaw with authorization logic allows privilege escalation through cluster role template binding (CRTB) and project role template binding (PRTB). This issue does not affect the local cluster, it affects only downstream clusters.

The vulnerability can be exploited by any user who has permissions to create/edit cluster role template bindings or project role template bindings (such as cluster-owner, manage cluster members, project-owner and manage project members) to gain owner permission in another project in the same cluster or in another project on a different downstream cluster.

  • The user must have kubectl access in the local cluster to exploit this scenario.

  • This can only be abused to gain cluster-owner permission on a different downstream cluster if the user is already cluster-owner on at least one downstream cluster.

  • Example of a modified CRTB (note: the clusterName points to the cluster ID of the cluster that the privileges will be escalated and namespace points to the current cluster ID that the user has permissions):

kubectl edit clusterroletemplatebindings crtb-<crtb-ID> -n c-<cluster-ID>
---
apiVersion: management.cattle.io/v3
clusterName: <ID-of-the-cluster-to-escalate>
kind: ClusterRoleTemplateBinding
metadata:
  annotations:
    <omitted> 
  finalizers:
  - <omitted> 
  generateName: crtb-
  labels:
    <omitted> 
    cattle.io/creator: norman
  name: crtb-<crtb-ID>
  namespace: c-<current-cluster-ID>
roleTemplateName: cluster-owner
userName: u-<user-ID>
userPrincipalName: local://u-<user-ID>

An artifact to flag the exploitation of this issue is that the namespace of the CRTB/PRTB will not match the cluster name (clusterName) of the CRTB/PRTB. For example, every CRTB in the c-123xyz namespace should have a cluster name of c-123xyz. If instead, the cluster name is c-abc567, for example, this is likely a result of a user exploiting this flaw.

For more information about cluster and project roles, please consult Rancher's documentation.

Patches

Patched versions include releases 2.5.16, 2.6.7 and later versions.

Workarounds

Limit access in Rancher to trusted users. There is not a direct mitigation besides upgrading to the patched Rancher versions.

Important: - It is highly advised to check the local and downstream clusters for potential unrecognized CRTBs (kubectl get clusterroletemplatebindings -A) and PRTBs (kubectl get projectroletemplatebindings -A) assignments. - The ability to add other users to projects and clusters is a highly-privileged permission which may result in users being able to operate beyond their explicitly specified RBAC. It is recommended that this permission be granted selectively.

The following script can be used as a helper to detect possible deviations of CRTBs and PRTBs that do not match the expected value. Further investigation is required to determine if the flagged objects were maliciously modified or not. The script requires kubectl access to the local cluster and the jq command.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

echo "CRTBs that don't match cluster:"
kubectl get clusterroletemplatebindings -A -o=jsonpath="{range .items[?(@.clusterName!=@.metadata.namespace)]}{.metadata.name}{'\n'}{end}"

echo "PRTBs that don't match project:"
kubectl get projectroletemplatebindings -A -ojson | jq -r '.items[]|.metadata as $m|select(.projectName|endswith($m.namespace)|not)|.metadata.name'

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-07-18 03:30 – Updated: 2024-04-04 06:12
VLAI
Details

The Export and Import Users and Customers plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'hf_update_customer' function called via an AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 2.4.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with shop manager-level permissions to change user passwords and potentially take over administrator accounts.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
  • Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].

Mitigation MIT-4.4
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
  • For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
  • One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
System Configuration Installation

Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
