CVE-2026-35653 Details
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.24 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability in the POST /reset-profile endpoint that allows authenticated callers with operator.write access to browser.request to bypass profile mutation restrictions. Attackers can invoke POST /reset-profile through the browser.request surface to stop the running browser, close Playwright connections, and move profile directories to Trash, crossing intended privilege boundaries.
A vulnerability allowing incorrect authorization has been identified in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.24. This issue resides in the POST /reset-profile endpoint, where authenticated users with operator.write access can bypass restrictions on profile mutations. The vulnerability can be exploited by sending a POST request to /reset-profile via the browser.request method, which can disrupt the active browser session, close connections managed by Playwright, and relocate the profile's data directory to the Trash, thereby violating established privilege boundaries.
Users can update to OpenClaw version 2026.3.24 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
