Openclaw: >> Openclaw >> 2026.3.28 Security Vulnerabilities
OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 stores Nostr privateKey as plaintext in configuration, allowing exposure through config.get method calls that bypass redaction mechanisms. Attackers can retrieve unredacted configuration data to obtain plaintext signing keys used for Nostr protocol operations.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability allowing paired nodes with role=node to dispatch node.event agent requests with unrestricted gateway-side tool access. Attackers with trusted paired node credentials can escalate privileges by leveraging unrestricted agent.request dispatch to achieve remote code execution on the gateway.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains an incomplete host-env-security-policy.json that fails to restrict compiler binary environment variables, allowing untrusted models to substitute CC, CXX, CARGO_BUILD_RUSTC, and CMAKE_C_COMPILER via environment overrides. Attackers with approved host-exec requests can override compiler binaries to execute arbitrary code during build processes.

OpenClaw versions 2026.2.19 before 2026.3.31 contain an improper cache isolation vulnerability in the Zalo webhook replay-dedupe mechanism that is shared across authenticated webhook targets. Attackers controlling one authenticated Zalo webhook path in multi-account deployments can suppress legitimate events on different accounts by matching event_name and message_id parameters.
