AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability exists in OpenClaw server-http versions prior to 2026.2.26. It is an authentication bypass issue caused by a mismatch in path canonicalization between the gateway guard and the plugin handler routing. Attackers can exploit this by sending requests with alternative path encodings, allowing them to access protected plugin channel APIs without undergoing proper gateway authentication.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The impact of this vulnerability is that unauthorized attackers can bypass authentication controls and gain access to protected plugin channel APIs. This can lead to unauthorized information disclosure and unauthorized modification of data, as indicated by the CVSS metrics showing low confidentiality and integrity impacts.
