OpenClaw < 2026.3.1 - Authorization Bypass in Agent Runs via Owner-Only Tool Access

8.7 HighFix available

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.1 contain an authorization mismatch vulnerability that allows authenticated callers with operator.write scope to invoke owner-only tool surfaces including gateway and cron through agent runs in scoped-token deployments. Attackers with write-scope access can perform control-plane actions beyond their intended authorization level by exploiting inconsistent owner-only gating during agent execution.

OpenClaw < 2026.3.1 - Authorization Bypass in Agent Runs via Owner-Only Tool Access

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.1 contain an authorization mismatch vulnerability that allows authenticated callers with operator.write scope to invoke owner-only tool surfaces including gateway and cron through agent runs in scoped-token deployments. Attackers with write-scope access can perform control-plane actions beyond their intended authorization level by exploiting inconsistent owner-only gating during agent execution.

OpenClaw's authorization mismatch allowed write-scope agent runs to reach owner-only tools

Summary

An authorization mismatch allowed authenticated callers with operator.write access to invoke owner-only tool surfaces (gateway, cron) through agent runs in scoped-token deployments.

Impact

On affected deployments, write-scoped callers could perform control-plane actions beyond intended write scope.

Fix

Owner-only gating is now enforced consistently for owner-only tool surfaces during agent execution, and tool scope classification was tightened to remove the privilege mismatch.
