CVE-2026-43585 Details
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.4.15 captures resolved bearer-auth configuration at startup, allowing revoked tokens to remain valid after SecretRef rotation. Gateway HTTP and WebSocket handlers fail to re-resolve authentication per-request, enabling attackers to use rotated-out bearer tokens for unauthorized gateway access.
A vulnerability in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.4.15 allows revoked bearer tokens to remain valid after SecretRef rotation. This issue arises because the application captures the resolved bearer-auth configuration at startup and does not re-resolve authentication for each request. As a result, tokens that should have been invalidated can still be used for unauthorized access through gateway HTTP and WebSocket handlers.
Users can upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.4.15 or later, which addresses this vulnerability by re-resolving authentication per request and per WebSocket upgrade, ensuring that rotated tokens are no longer accepted.
