{"id":"CVE-2026-32001","aliases":["GHSA-rv2q-f2h5-6xmg"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-32001","summary":"OpenClaw < 2026.2.22 - Node Role Device-Identity Bypass via WebSocket Authentication","details":"### Summary\nA client authenticated with a shared gateway token could connect as `role=node` without device identity/pairing, then call `node.event` to trigger `agent.request` and `voice.transcript` flows.\n\n### Affected Packages / Versions\n- Package: npm `openclaw`\n- Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.21-2`\n- Patched version: `2026.2.22` (planned next release)\n\n### Details\nThe WebSocket connect path allowed device-less bypass whenever shared auth succeeded. That bypass did not restrict role, so a client could claim `role=node` with no device identity and still pass handshake auth. Because `node.event` is node-role allowed, this enabled unauthorized node event injection into agent-trigger flows.\n\n### Impact\nUnauthorized `node.event` injection can trigger agent execution and voice transcript flows for clients that only hold the shared gateway token, without node device pairing.\n\n### Remediation\nUpgrade to `2026.2.22` (or newer) once published. The fix requires device identity for `role=node` connects, even when shared-token auth succeeds.\n\n### Fix Commit(s)\n- ddcb2d79b17bf2a42c5037d8aeff1537a12b931e\n\n### Release Process Note\n`patched_versions` is pre-set to the planned next release so once npm release `2026.2.22` is out, advisory publish is a single step.\n\nOpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.","published":"2026-03-19T22:06:42.305Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:31.989412190Z","cvss":null,"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","fixedVersion":"2026.2.22"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/ddcb2d79b17bf2a42c5037d8aeff1537a12b931e","label":"openclaw/openclaw@ddcb2d7"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/32xxx/CVE-2026-32001.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-rv2q-f2h5-6xmg"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32001"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-node-role-device-identity-bypass-via-websocket-authentication"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/ddcb2d79b17bf2a42c5037d8aeff1537a12b931e"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:31.989412190Z"}}
