{"id":"GHSA-vvgp-4c28-m3jm","summary":"OpenClaw has a Trusted-proxy Control UI pairing bypass which allows unpaired node sessions","details":"## Summary\nA trusted-proxy Control UI pairing bypass accepted `client.id=control-ui` without device identity checks. The bypass did not require `operator` role, so an authenticated `node` role session could connect unpaired and reach node event methods.\n\n## Impact\nWith trusted-proxy authentication enabled, a `node` role websocket client could skip pairing by using `client.id=control-ui`. That created an authorization boundary bypass from a node-scoped connection into node event execution flows.\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Affected range: `\u003c= 2026.2.24`\n- Latest published vulnerable version: `2026.2.24`\n- Patched in next release: `2026.2.25` (pre-set below so this advisory is ready to publish after npm release)\n\n## Fix\nThe trusted-proxy Control UI bypass now additionally requires `role === \"operator\"`.\n\n### Fix Commit(s)\n- `ec45c317f5d0631a3d333b236da58c4749ede2a3`\n\n## Release Process Note\n`patched_versions` is intentionally pre-set to the release (`2026.2.25`). Advisory published with npm release `2026.2.25`.2.25` is published, the remaining GHSA action is to publish this advisory.\n\nOpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.","aliases":["CVE-2026-32057"],"modified":"2026-03-30T13:56:21.942065Z","published":"2026-03-03T21:52:16Z","database_specific":{"nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-807"],"severity":"MODERATE","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-03-03T21:52:16Z"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-vvgp-4c28-m3jm"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32057"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/ec45c317f5d0631a3d333b236da58c4749ede2a3"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-authentication-bypass-via-control-ui-client-id-parameter"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2026.2.25"}]}],"database_specific":{"last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c= 2026.2.24","source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-vvgp-4c28-m3jm/GHSA-vvgp-4c28-m3jm.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:H/A:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
