{"id":"CVE-2026-41298","aliases":["GHSA-5hff-46vh-rxmw"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-41298","summary":"OpenClaw < 2026.4.2 - Authorization Bypass in Session Termination Endpoint","details":"## Summary\n\nBefore OpenClaw 2026.4.2, `POST /sessions/:sessionKey/kill` did not enforce write scopes in identity-bearing HTTP modes. A caller limited to read-only operator scopes could still terminate a running subagent session.\n\n## Impact\n\nA read-scoped caller could perform a write-class control-plane mutation and interrupt delegated work. This was an authorization bug on the HTTP scope boundary, not a shared-secret compatibility exception.\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Affected versions: `<= 2026.4.1`\n- Patched versions: `>= 2026.4.2`\n- Latest published npm version: `2026.4.1`\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n\n- `54a0878517167c6e49900498cf77420dadb74beb` — enforce session-kill HTTP scopes\n\n## Release Process Note\n\nThe fix is present on `main` and is staged for OpenClaw `2026.4.2`. Publish this advisory after the `2026.4.2` npm release is live.\n\nThanks @EaEa0001 for reporting.","published":"2026-04-20T23:08:11.787Z","modified":"2026-10-28T02:31:08.858279850Z","cvss":null,"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","fixedVersion":"2026.4.2"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/54a0878517167c6e49900498cf77420dadb74beb","label":"openclaw/openclaw@54a0878"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/41xxx/CVE-2026-41298.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-5hff-46vh-rxmw"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-41298"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-authorization-bypass-in-session-termination-endpoint"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/54a0878517167c6e49900498cf77420dadb74beb"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-10-28T02:31:08.858279850Z"}}
