openclawnpmDescription
OpenClaw versions 2026.3.11 through 2026.3.24 contain a session isolation bypass vulnerability where session_status resolves sessionId to canonical session keys before enforcing visibility checks. Sandboxed child sessions can exploit this to access parent or sibling sessions that should be blocked by explicit sessionKey restrictions.
Affected Packages

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for openclaw. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update openclaw to 2026.3.28 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-35636 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-35636 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-35636. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
