CVE-2026-43535 Details
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.4.14 contains an authorization context reuse vulnerability in collect-mode queue batches that allows messages from different senders to inherit the final sender's authorization context. Attackers can exploit this by sending multiple queued messages to drain batches using a more privileged sender's context, causing earlier messages to execute with elevated permissions.
A vulnerability exists in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.4.14, allowing for authorization context reuse in collect-mode queue batches. This issue enables messages from different senders to adopt the final sender's authorization context. As a result, attackers could exploit this by sending multiple queued messages, using a more privileged sender's context to execute earlier messages with elevated permissions.
Users are advised to upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.4.14 or later, as this version includes the necessary fix. The latest npm release, 2026.4.14, already contains the patch.
