{"id":"CVE-2026-44994","aliases":["GHSA-93rg-2xm5-2p9v"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-44994","summary":"OpenClaw < 2026.4.22 - Authentication Bypass in Gateway Control UI Bootstrap Config Endpoint","details":"## Summary\nGateway Control UI bootstrap config required Gateway auth.\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n- Package: openclaw (npm)\n- Affected versions: <= 2026.4.21\n- Fixed version: 2026.4.22\n\n## Impact\nWhen Gateway authentication was enabled, the Control UI bootstrap config endpoint could still be read without a valid Gateway token. That response could expose sensitive bootstrap/config fields intended only for authenticated Control UI sessions.\n\n## Fix\nThe bootstrap config route now goes through the same Gateway read-auth path as other authenticated Control UI reads. Regression tests cover unauthenticated rejection, valid-token access, and basePath handling.\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n- 2321d67263bc710e357644d59f746b08d891051b\n\n## Verification\n- The fix commit is contained in the public v2026.4.22 tag.\n- openclaw@2026.4.22 is published on npm and the compiled package contains the fix.\n- Focused regression coverage for this path passed before publication.\n\nOpenClaw thanks @zsxsoft for reporting.","published":"2026-05-11T16:46:34.354Z","modified":"2026-10-21T02:30:41.380183848Z","cvss":null,"epss":{"score":0.00317,"percentile":0.24331,"asOf":"2026-08-14"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","fixedVersion":"2026.4.22"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/2321d67263bc710e357644d59f746b08d891051b","label":"openclaw/openclaw@2321d67"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/44xxx/CVE-2026-44994.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-93rg-2xm5-2p9v"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-44994"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-authentication-bypass-in-gateway-control-ui-bootstrap-config-endpoint"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/2321d67263bc710e357644d59f746b08d891051b"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-10-21T02:30:41.380183848Z"}}
