NVD description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.24 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability in the POST /reset-profile endpoint that allows authenticated callers with operator.write access to browser.request to bypass profile mutation restrictions. Attackers can invoke POST /reset-profile through the browser.request surface to stop the running browser, close Playwright connections, and move profile directories to Trash, crossing intended privilege boundaries.
What to do
- Upgrade OpenClaw to
2026.3.24or later. - Do not expose the component's API or UI to the internet without authentication in front of it.
