CVE-2026-28472

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.2 contain a vulnerability in the gateway WebSocket connect handshake in which it allows skipping device identity checks when auth.token is present but not validated. Attackers can connect to the gateway without providing device identity or pairing by exploiting the presence check instead of validation, potentially gaining operator access in vulnerable deployments.

Summary
  • (es) Versiones de OpenClaw anteriores a 2026.2.2 contienen una vulnerabilidad en el handshake de conexión WebSocket del gateway en la que permite omitir las comprobaciones de identidad del dispositivo cuando auth.token está presente pero no validado. Los atacantes pueden conectarse al gateway sin proporcionar identidad del dispositivo o emparejamiento explotando la comprobación de presencia en lugar de la validación, obteniendo potencialmente acceso de operador en implementaciones vulnerables.
