CVE-2026-53850 Details
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.4.25 contains a control scope enforcement bypass vulnerability in the focus command that allows authenticated callers to execute the command without proper authorization checks. Attackers can trigger the focus command to change focus state outside intended caller authority, potentially enabling unauthorized operations depending on gateway configuration and input trust levels.
A control scope enforcement bypass vulnerability has been identified in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.4.25. This vulnerability allows authenticated users to execute the focus command without the necessary authorization checks. As a result, attackers could manipulate the focus state beyond the intended authority of the caller, potentially leading to unauthorized actions based on the gateway's configuration and the trust levels of the input.
Users are advised to update to OpenClaw version 2026.4.25 or later. Until then, restrict access to the focus command to trusted operators. As a general practice, keep channel and tool allowlists narrow, avoid sharing one Gateway between mutually untrusted users, and disable the affected feature when it is not needed.
