Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
OpenClaw versions 2026.5.10-beta.1 before 2026.6.5 contain an authorization bypass in the ClickClack agent-mode dispatch feature, which could ignore the toolsAllow policy check. When the affected feature is enabled and reachable, a lower-trust caller or configured input path could perform actions that should have required a stronger authorization or policy check.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an authorization bypass in OpenClaw versions 2026.5.10-beta.1 through 2026.6.4. It affects the ClickClack agent-mode dispatch feature, allowing lower-trust callers or inputs to bypass the toolsAllow policy check. This means actions requiring stronger authorization could be performed without proper validation.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if your OpenClaw version is between 2026.5.10-beta.1 and 2026.6.4. Run: openclaw --version. If the version is within this range, the system is vulnerable. Additionally, verify if the ClickClack agent-mode dispatch feature is enabled and accessible.

Impact Analysis

The impact depends on configuration and whether lower-trust input can reach the affected feature. If exploited, it could allow unauthorized actions that should require stronger authorization, potentially compromising confidentiality and integrity of data. The attack requires network access, low privileges, and no user interaction.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could potentially impact compliance with GDPR and HIPAA by allowing unauthorized actions due to improper authorization checks. If lower-trust callers bypass policy restrictions, it may lead to unauthorized data access or modifications, violating confidentiality and integrity requirements in these regulations.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.6.5 or later. If upgrading is not possible, restrict the ClickClack agent-mode dispatch feature to trusted operators or disable it entirely. Ensure channel and tool allowlists are narrow and avoid shared Gateways between untrusted users.
