CVE-2026-100585

OpenClaw before 2026.7.1 Authentication Bypass via MCP Channel

Published: Sep 26, 2026Updated: Sep 26, 2026 Sources: CVE List NVDCWE-862

8.0HIGH

Description

OpenClaw (npm package `openclaw`) before 2026.7.1 fails to enforce the owner-only authorization requirement for Claude Code permission prompts delivered through the MCP channel bridge. An authorized non-owner channel sender with channel command access can approve or deny a pending permission request intended for the owner, causing the requested action to proceed without owner consent. The practical impact depends on the pending action and the host capabilities requested by the Claude Code run. The issue is fixed in version 2026.7.1.
