Affected: OpenClaw

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.12 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the WebSocket connect path that allows shared-token or password-authenticated connections to self-declare elevated scopes without server-side binding. Attackers can exploit this logic flaw to present unauthorized scopes such as operator.admin and perform admin-only gateway operations.

 https://cve.radiocsirt.org/vuln/ghsa-rqpp-rjj8-7wv8 GHSA-rqpp-rjj8-7wv8 — OpenClaw: WebSocket shared-auth connections could self-declare elevated scopes 2026-10-03T19:05:51.639443+00:00

Affected: npm: openclaw

### Summary

A logic flaw in the OpenClaw gateway WebSocket connect path allowed certain device-less shared-token or password-authenticated backend connections to keep client-declared scopes without server-side binding. A shared-authenticated client could present elevated scopes such as `operator.admin` even though those scopes were not tied to a device identity or an explicitly trusted Control UI path.

### Impact

This crossed the intended authorization boundary and could let a shared-secret-authenticated backend client perform admin-only gateway operations.

### Affected versions

`openclaw` `<= 2026.3.11`

### Patch

Fixed in `openclaw` `2026.3.12`. The gateway now clears unbound scopes for non-Control-UI shared-auth connections, and regression tests cover the device-less shared-auth path.
