Elevated-mode authorization bypass via mixed identity tokens
Published Aug 6, 2026 · Updated Aug 6, 2026
Improper privilege management in OpenClaw-CN openclaw-cn 0.2.0 through 0.2.1 allows remote authenticated users to enable elevated mode. The isApprovedElevatedSender function puts ctx.To and mutable sender names, usernames, and tags in the same token set as stable sender identifiers, then accepts any matching allowlist entry. A command-authorized chat user can exploit a matching recipient or spoofable profile value when elevated mode is enabled, crossing into host-side execution subject to remaining approval policy.
