Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote user to obtain information derived from durable memory despite requester-specific rules denying access to memory tools.
The vulnerability exists due to missing authorization in OpenClaw's Active Memory context assembly when automatic recall retrieves and injects durable memory without applying the originating requester's effective tool policy. A remote user can submit requests as an admitted sender denied memory_search and memory_get access to receive information derived from durable memory in the agent's response.
