Received Received - Intake
Authentication Bypass in OpenClaw Control UI via Insecure HTTP

Publication date: 2026-03-19

Last updated on: 2026-03-25

Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.21 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the Control UI when allowInsecureAuth is explicitly enabled and the gateway is exposed over plaintext HTTP, allowing attackers to bypass device identity and pairing verification. An attacker with leaked or intercepted credentials can obtain high-privilege Control UI access by exploiting the lack of secure authentication enforcement over unencrypted HTTP connections.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.21 and involves an authentication bypass in the Control UI. It occurs when the allowInsecureAuth setting is explicitly enabled and the gateway is exposed over unencrypted HTTP connections. Under these conditions, attackers can bypass device identity and pairing verification.

An attacker who has leaked or intercepted credentials can exploit this flaw to gain high-privilege access to the Control UI because secure authentication enforcement is not applied over plaintext HTTP.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can allow attackers to bypass authentication controls and gain high-privilege access to the Control UI of the affected OpenClaw device.

This unauthorized access could lead to control over device functions, potentially compromising the security and operation of the system.
