CVE-2026-27004
OpenClaw session tool visibility hardening and Telegram webhook secret fallback
OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Prior to version 2026.2.15, in some shared-agent deployments, OpenClaw session tools (sessions_list, sessions_history, sessions_send) allowed broader session targeting than some operators intended. This is primarily a configuration/visibility-scoping issue in multi-user environments where peers are not equally trusted. In Telegram webhook mode, monitor startup also did not fall back to per-account webhookSecret when only the account-level secret was configured. In shared-agent, multi-user, less-trusted environments: session-tool access could expose transcript content across peer sessions. In single-agent or trusted environments, practical impact is limited. In Telegram webhook mode, account-level secret wiring could be missed unless an explicit monitor webhook secret override was provided. Version 2026.2.15 fixes the issue.

OpenClaw session tool visibility hardening and Telegram webhook secret fallback
Vulnerability
In some shared-agent deployments, OpenClaw session tools (sessions_list, sessions_history, sessions_send) allowed broader session targeting than some operators intended. This is primarily a configuration/visibility-scoping issue in multi-user environments where peers are not equally trusted.
In Telegram webhook mode, monitor startup also did not fall back to per-account webhookSecret when only the account-level secret was configured.
Typical Use Case Context
Most regular OpenClaw deployments run a single agent, or run in trusted environments. In those setups, practical risk from this issue is generally low.
Impact
- Shared-agent, multi-user, less-trusted environments: session-tool access could expose transcript content across peer sessions.
- Single-agent or trusted environments: practical impact is limited.
- Telegram webhook mode: account-level secret wiring could be missed unless an explicit monitor webhook secret override was provided.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: npm
openclaw - Affected versions:
<= 2026.2.14 - Patched version:
2026.2.15(planned next release)
Remediation
- Add and enforce
tools.sessions.visibility(self | tree | agent | all) across session tools, defaulting totree. - Keep sandbox clamping behavior so sandboxed runs can be restricted to spawned/session-tree visibility.
- Resolve Telegram webhook secret from account config fallback in monitor webhook startup.
