CVE-2026-66418 Details
Description
OpenClaw Dashboard v3.0.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTML and script payloads by submitting a crafted username in a failed login POST request, which is recorded verbatim in the audit log. When an administrator opens the notification panel, the unescaped log entry is rendered via innerHTML with a permissive Content-Security-Policy allowing inline event handlers, enabling the attacker-supplied payload to execute in the administrator's session and interact with authenticated endpoints including agent instruction file editing and configuration changes.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in OpenClaw Dashboard version 3.0.0. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTML and script payloads by submitting a crafted username in a failed login POST request. The injected payload is recorded verbatim in the audit log. When an administrator accesses the notification panel, the unescaped log entry is rendered using innerHTML, facilitated by a permissive Content-Security-Policy that allows inline event handlers. This enables the execution of the attacker-supplied payload in the administrator's session, with the ability to interact with authenticated endpoints, including editing agent instruction files and making configuration changes.
To address this vulnerability, OpenClaw Dashboard should be updated to a version that fixes the cross-site scripting issue. Additionally, implement input validation for the username field to restrict the length and character set before logging failed login attempts.
