OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot or Clawdbot) vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Summary
Gateway plugin route auth protection for /api/channels could be bypassed using encoded dot-segment traversal (for example ..%2f) in path variants that plugin handlers normalize.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: npm
openclaw - Latest published vulnerable version:
2026.2.25 - Vulnerable version range:
<= 2026.2.25 - Patched version:
2026.2.26(planned next release)
Impact
Under affected versions, crafted alternate paths could bypass gateway auth checks for protected plugin channel routes when plugin handlers decode/canonicalize the incoming path and then route to /api/channels/... handlers.
