Summary

CVE-2026-34511 is a medium-severity Use of Insufficiently Random Values (CWE-330) vulnerability in Openclaw Openclaw. Its CVSS base score is 6.0 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Steal Application Access Token (T1528); ranked at the 15th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

This vulnerability is AI-related — categorised as APIs and Models; in the Privacy and Disclosure risk domain.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to IA-5 (Authenticator Management) and SC-23 (Session Authenticity) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1528 Steal Application Access Token Credential Access
Adversaries can steal application access tokens as a means of acquiring credentials to access remote systems and resources.
Why these techniques?

The PKCE misuse directly enables theft and redemption of OAuth application access tokens via captured redirect URLs.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Requires proper management of authenticators such as the PKCE code_verifier so it is never reused or placed in an exposed redirect URL.

prevent

Mandates mechanisms that protect session authenticity, directly addressing the incorrect reuse of the PKCE verifier as the OAuth state parameter.

prevent

Enforces that authorization-code redemption succeeds only when the client presents a secret that has not been exposed via the redirect URL.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly enforce use of cryptographically strong RNGs and catch insufficient randomness during design, coding, and testing.

Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

prevents

Cryptographic controls require use of approved, sufficiently random values for keys and nonces.

detects

Security testing can detect weak randomness but does not prescribe the control itself.

prevents

Secure SDLC processes include verification steps that can catch insufficient randomness but do not directly specify RNG requirements.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly prohibit use of weak or predictable random number generators.

degrades

Secure authentication mechanisms depend on unpredictable values (nonces, salts, session tokens) to resist guessing.
