{"id":"GHSA-m5jp-p3r5-mfqp","summary":"Duplicate Advisory: OpenClaw: Gateway Plugin Subagent Fallback `deleteSession` Uses Synthetic `operator.admin`","details":"## Duplicate Advisory\n\nThis advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-h4jx-hjr3-fhgc. This link is maintained to preserve external references.\n\n## Original Description\nOpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the gateway plugin subagent fallback deleteSession function that uses a synthetic operator.admin runtime scope. Attackers can exploit this by triggering session deletion without a request-scoped client to execute privileged operations with unintended administrative scope.","modified":"2026-04-18T01:03:57.437510Z","published":"2026-04-10T00:30:30Z","withdrawn":"2026-04-18T00:43:39Z","database_specific":{"severity":"MODERATE","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-04-18T00:43:39Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-04-09T22:16:34Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-648","CWE-863"]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-h4jx-hjr3-fhgc"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-35645"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/b5d785f1a59a56c3471f2cef328f7c9a6c15f3e7"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-privilege-escalation-via-synthetic-operator-admin-in-deletesession"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"2026.3.24"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/04/GHSA-m5jp-p3r5-mfqp/GHSA-m5jp-p3r5-mfqp.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:N/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X"}]}
