CVE-2026-32004
CVSS v4.0
8.3
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.2
Description
OpenClaw versions before 2026.3.2 contain an authentication bypass issue in the
/api/channels route classification. This is due to a mismatch in canonicalization depth between authentication path classification and route path canonicalization. Attackers can bypass route authentication checks by submitting deeply encoded slash variants, such as multi-encoded %2f, to access protected /api/channels endpoints. The issue allows alternate encoded paths to evade protected-prefix authentication checks while still resolving to /api/channels/... in plugin route handling. The vulnerable component relies on gateway authentication for /api/channels/* protection. The issue stems from diverging authentication path classification and route path canonicalization for deeply encoded slash variants.Recommendations
Update OpenClaw to version 2026.3.2 or later.
Fix
Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel
