Vulnerability Data

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Prior to version 2026.2.15, in some shared-agent deployments, OpenClaw session tools (`sessions_list`, `sessions_history`, `sessions_send`) allowed broader session targeting than some operators intended. This is primarily a configuration/visibility-scoping issue in multi-user environments where peers are…

not equally trusted. In Telegram webhook mode, monitor startup also did not fall back to per-account `webhookSecret` when only the account-level secret was configured. In shared-agent, multi-user, less-trusted environments: session-tool access could expose transcript content across peer sessions. In single-agent or trusted environments, practical impact is limited. In Telegram webhook mode, account-level secret wiring could be missed unless an explicit monitor webhook secret override was provided. Version 2026.2.15 fixes the issue.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly enforces per-session access policies so that tools such as sessions_list/history/send cannot target peer sessions beyond the intended scope.

prevent

Enforces information-flow rules that restrict transcript visibility between differently-trusted users in shared-agent deployments.

prevent

Limits the privileges granted to session tools and webhook monitors so they operate only on the accounts/sessions for which they were explicitly configured.

Authentication directly verifies the source of users/services/hardware, mitigating origin validation failures.

Verifying identity assertions enforces origin validation for conveyed claims.

Secure SDLC practices directly require sanitized error handling to prevent sensitive data disclosure.

Documenting authorized flows supports origin validation by defining expected sources.

Protecting networks from unauthorized access requires origin checks on communication sources.
