{"id":"CVE-2026-32972","aliases":["GHSA-vmhq-cqm9-6p7q"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-32972","summary":"OpenClaw < 2026.3.11 - Authorization Bypass in Browser Profile Management via browser.request","details":"### Summary\n\nAn authorization mismatch in the gateway let an authenticated caller with only `operator.write` use `browser.request` to reach browser profile management routes that persist configuration to disk. In practice, this exposed an admin-only configuration write primitive through `/profiles/create`.\n\n### Impact\n\nA write-scoped operator could create or modify browser profiles and store attacker-chosen remote CDP endpoints without holding `operator.admin`.\n\n### Affected versions\n\n`openclaw` `<= 2026.3.8`\n\n### Patch\n\nFixed in `openclaw` `2026.3.11` and included in later releases such as `2026.3.12`. Browser profile creation now requires the correct admin boundary, and regression tests cover the write-vs-admin authorization split.","published":"2026-03-29T12:44:24.909Z","modified":"2026-10-28T02:30:22.369633747Z","cvss":null,"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","fixedVersion":"2026.3.11"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/32xxx/CVE-2026-32972.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-vmhq-cqm9-6p7q"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32972"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-authorization-bypass-in-browser-profile-management-via-browser-request"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/releases/tag/v2026.3.11"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-10-28T02:30:22.369633747Z"}}
