Description
OpenClaw (npm package openclaw) before 2026.7.1 fails to enforce the owner-only authorization requirement for Claude Code permission prompts delivered through the MCP channel bridge. An authorized non-owner channel sender with channel command access can approve or deny a pending permission request intended for the owner, causing the requested action to proceed without owner consent. The practical impact depends on the pending action and the host capabilities requested by the Claude Code run. The issue is fixed in version 2026.7.1.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`). Because exploitation targets the running service rather than your application code, O3 also flags the exploit behaviour from runtime telemetry and egress traffic.
Remediation status
No fixed release is recorded for CVE-2026-100585 yet. Track the upstream advisory, and apply the exposure-reduction steps below in the meantime.
Mitigate without a patch
Reduce reachability while you patch: restrict network access to the service to trusted sources, disable or gate the affected component where your deployment allows it, and add a WAF/IPS signature if one exists for CVE-2026-100585. O3's runtime protection blocks the cwe-862 flaw at execution, which holds the line on hosts you cannot patch immediately.
How O3 protects you
O3 detects and blocks CVE-2026-100585 exploitation at runtime with eBPF exploit-chain detection, plus L7 egress monitoring that catches a post-exploitation callback and cuts the attacker's outbound channel.
Tailored to CVE-2026-100585. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
