{"id":"GHSA-5hff-46vh-rxmw","summary":"OpenClaw: Read-scoped identity-bearing HTTP clients could kill sessions via /sessions/:sessionKey/kill","details":"## Summary\n\nBefore OpenClaw 2026.4.2, `POST /sessions/:sessionKey/kill` did not enforce write scopes in identity-bearing HTTP modes. A caller limited to read-only operator scopes could still terminate a running subagent session.\n\n## Impact\n\nA read-scoped caller could perform a write-class control-plane mutation and interrupt delegated work. This was an authorization bug on the HTTP scope boundary, not a shared-secret compatibility exception.\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Affected versions: `\u003c= 2026.4.1`\n- Patched versions: `\u003e= 2026.4.2`\n- Latest published npm version: `2026.4.1`\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n\n- `54a0878517167c6e49900498cf77420dadb74beb` — enforce session-kill HTTP scopes\n\n## Release Process Note\n\nThe fix is present on `main` and is staged for OpenClaw `2026.4.2`. Publish this advisory after the `2026.4.2` npm release is live.\n\nThanks @EaEa0001 for reporting.","aliases":["CVE-2026-41298"],"modified":"2026-05-05T16:01:31.407756Z","published":"2026-04-07T18:15:37Z","database_specific":{"nvd_published_at":"2026-04-21T00:16:30Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-269","CWE-862"],"severity":"MODERATE","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-04-07T18:15:37Z"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-5hff-46vh-rxmw"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-41298"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/54a0878517167c6e49900498cf77420dadb74beb"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-authorization-bypass-in-session-termination-endpoint"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2026.4.2"}]}],"database_specific":{"last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c= 2026.4.1","source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/04/GHSA-5hff-46vh-rxmw/GHSA-5hff-46vh-rxmw.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
