NVD description
OpenClaw versions 2026.1.5 prior to 2026.2.12 fail to enforce mandatory authentication on the /agent/act browser-control HTTP route, allowing unauthorized local callers to invoke privileged operations. Remote attackers on the local network or local processes can execute arbitrary browser-context actions and access sensitive in-session data by sending requests to unauthenticated endpoints.
What to do
- Upgrade OpenClaw to
2026.2.12or later. - Do not expose the component's API or UI to the internet without authentication in front of it.
