{"id":"CVE-2026-45001","aliases":["GHSA-7jm2-g593-4qrc"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-45001","summary":"OpenClaw < 2026.4.20 - Gateway Config Mutation Guard Bypass via Agent Tool Access","details":"## Affected Packages / Versions\n\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Affected versions: `< 2026.4.20`\n- Patched version: `2026.4.20`\n\n## Impact\n\nThe agent-facing `gateway config.patch` / `config.apply` guard did not cover several operator-trusted settings, including sandbox policy, plugin enablement, gateway auth/TLS, hook routing, MCP server configuration, SSRF policy, and filesystem hardening. A prompt-injected model with access to the owner-only gateway tool could persist changes to those settings.\n\nThis is a model-to-operator guard bypass, not a remote unauthenticated gateway compromise. Severity is medium.\n\n## Fix\n\nOpenClaw now blocks model-driven gateway config mutations for the broader operator-trusted path set and covers per-agent overrides and array-entry patching.\n\nFix commit:\n\n- `fe30b31a97a917ecc6e92f6c85378b6b20352422`\n\n## Release\n\nFixed in OpenClaw `2026.4.20`.","published":"2026-05-11T16:46:39.888Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:18.270997368Z","cvss":null,"epss":{"score":0.00218,"percentile":0.12247,"asOf":"2026-08-09"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","fixedVersion":"2026.4.20"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/fe30b31a97a917ecc6e92f6c85378b6b20352422","label":"openclaw/openclaw@fe30b31"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/45xxx/CVE-2026-45001.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-7jm2-g593-4qrc"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-45001"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-gateway-config-mutation-guard-bypass-via-agent-tool-access"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/fe30b31a97a917ecc6e92f6c85378b6b20352422"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:18.270997368Z"}}
