{"id":"CVE-2026-32034","aliases":["GHSA-3cvx-236h-m9fj"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-32034","summary":"OpenClaw < 2026.2.21 - Insecure Control UI Authentication over Plaintext HTTP","details":"## Description\n\nIn affected releases, when an operator explicitly enabled `gateway.controlUi.allowInsecureAuth: true` and exposed the gateway over plaintext HTTP, Control UI authentication could permit privileged operator access without the intended device identity + pairing guarantees.\n\nThis required an insecure deployment choice and credential exposure risk (for example, plaintext transit or prior token leak). It was fixed on `main` in commit `40a292619e1f2be3a3b1db663d7494c9c2dc0abf` ([PR #20684](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/pull/20684)).\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Affected published versions: `<= 2026.2.19-2`\n- Planned patched version: `2026.2.21`\n\n## Impact\n\nIn these explicitly insecure deployments, an attacker with leaked/intercepted credentials could obtain high-privilege Control UI access.\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n\n- `40a292619e1f2be3a3b1db663d7494c9c2dc0abf` (merged 2026-02-20)\n\nOpenClaw thanks @Vasco0x4 for reporting.","published":"2026-03-19T22:07:09.339Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:35.522688281Z","cvss":null,"epss":{"score":0.00381,"percentile":0.31507,"asOf":"2026-09-11"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","fixedVersion":"2026.2.21"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/40a292619e1f2be3a3b1db663d7494c9c2dc0abf","label":"openclaw/openclaw@40a2926"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/32xxx/CVE-2026-32034.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-3cvx-236h-m9fj"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32034"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-insecure-control-ui-authentication-over-plaintext-http"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/40a292619e1f2be3a3b1db663d7494c9c2dc0abf"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/pull/20684"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:35.522688281Z"}}
