{"id":"GHSA-vmhq-cqm9-6p7q","summary":"OpenClaw: `browser.request` let `operator.write` persist admin-only browser profile changes","details":"### Summary\n\nAn authorization mismatch in the gateway let an authenticated caller with only `operator.write` use `browser.request` to reach browser profile management routes that persist configuration to disk. In practice, this exposed an admin-only configuration write primitive through `/profiles/create`.\n\n### Impact\n\nA write-scoped operator could create or modify browser profiles and store attacker-chosen remote CDP endpoints without holding `operator.admin`.\n\n### Affected versions\n\n`openclaw` `\u003c= 2026.3.8`\n\n### Patch\n\nFixed in `openclaw` `2026.3.11` and included in later releases such as `2026.3.12`. Browser profile creation now requires the correct admin boundary, and regression tests cover the write-vs-admin authorization split.","aliases":["CVE-2026-32972"],"modified":"2026-07-08T08:11:42.166533909Z","published":"2026-03-13T20:54:25Z","database_specific":{"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-03-13T20:54:25Z","nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-863"]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-vmhq-cqm9-6p7q"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/releases/tag/v2026.3.11"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2026.3.11"}]}],"database_specific":{"last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c= 2026.3.8","source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-vmhq-cqm9-6p7q/GHSA-vmhq-cqm9-6p7q.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:L"}]}
