Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Code Injection (CVE-ID: N/A)
CWE-ID: CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to improper control of code generation in the bundled plugin setup resolver when resolving provider setup metadata from an attacker-controlled current working directory. A remote attacker can place a crafted setup-api.js file in extensions//setup-api.js and trick the victim into running an OpenClaw command from that directory to execute arbitrary code.
User interaction is required to run OpenClaw from a directory containing the attacker-controlled setup file.
2) Insufficient Session Expiration (CVE-ID: N/A)
CWE-ID: CWE-613 - Insufficient Session Expiration
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote user to continue authenticating webhook requests with a previously rotated secret.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient session expiration in webhook route secret authentication when processing webhook requests after secret rotation and reload. A remote privileged user can reuse a previously valid webhook route secret to continue authenticating webhook requests with a previously rotated secret.
The old secret may remain valid until the plugin or gateway is restarted.
3) Missing Authorization (CVE-ID: N/A)
CWE-ID: CWE-862 - Missing Authorization
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote user to modify sensitive configuration and cross security boundaries.
The vulnerability exists due to missing authorization in the gateway config.apply and config.patch mutation guard when processing model-driven gateway config mutations. A remote user can write to sensitive configuration subtrees to modify sensitive configuration and cross security boundaries.
Exploitation requires access to the owner-only gateway tool, and unsafe configuration changes can persist across restarts once written.
