In affected versions, if that bootstrap step threw an error, startup could continue and expose browser-control routes without authentication.\n\n### Impact\nOn affected deployments, a local process (or a loopback-reachable SSRF path) could access browser-control routes, including evaluate-capable actions, without auth.\n\n### Fix\nStartup now fails closed: if bootstrap auth fails and no explicit token/password is configured, browser-control startup aborts.\n\n### Affected and Patched Versions\n- Affected: `<= 2026.2.26`\n- Patched: `2026.3.1`","published":"2026-03-19T22:07:14.660Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:41.279325089Z","cvss":null,"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","fixedVersion":"2026.3.1"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/32xxx/CVE-2026-32041.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-vpj2-69hf-rppw"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32041"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-unauthenticated-browser-control-access-via-failed-auth-bootstrap"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:41.279325089Z"}}
