{"id":"GHSA-x49q-fhhm-r9jf","summary":"Duplicate Advisory: OpenClaw: WebSocket shared-auth connections could self-declare elevated scopes","details":"### Duplicate Advisory\nThis advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-rqpp-rjj8-7wv8. This link is maintained to preserve external references.\n\n### Original Description\nOpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.12 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the WebSocket connect path that allows shared-token or password-authenticated connections to self-declare elevated scopes without server-side binding. Attackers can exploit this logic flaw to present unauthorized scopes such as operator.admin and perform admin-only gateway operations.","modified":"2026-03-20T17:31:36.686290Z","published":"2026-03-20T15:31:14Z","withdrawn":"2026-03-20T17:24:51Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed":true,"cwe_ids":["CWE-862"],"github_reviewed_at":"2026-03-20T17:24:51Z","severity":"CRITICAL","nvd_published_at":"2026-03-20T15:16:15Z"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-rqpp-rjj8-7wv8"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-22172"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-scope-elevation-in-websocket-shared-auth-connections"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2026.3.12"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-x49q-fhhm-r9jf/GHSA-x49q-fhhm-r9jf.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H/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"}]}
