Medium (6.3) in openclaw openclaw. EPSS 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in openclaw 2026.3.22.
OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains a settings reconciliation vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass intended deny-all revocations by exploiting empty allowlist handling. The vulnerability treats explicit empty allowlists as unset during reconciliation, silently undoing intended access control denials and restoring previously revoked permissions.
