CVE-2026-53815 Details
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.5.19 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in message read actions that skips channel allowlist checks. Lower-trust callers can request messages from channels not intended for them by exploiting insufficient validation in the affected feature, potentially exposing sensitive channel messages.
An authorization bypass vulnerability has been identified in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.5.19. This vulnerability allows lower-trust callers to read messages from channels not intended for them by bypassing channel allowlist checks. The issue arises from inadequate validation in the message read feature, potentially leading to the exposure of sensitive channel messages.
Users are advised to update to OpenClaw version 2026.5.19 or later. Additionally, message read actions should be limited to trusted operators, and channel allowlists should be kept narrow. As a general practice, avoid sharing one Gateway between mutually untrusted users and disable the message read feature when it is not needed.
