CVE-2026-41353Network attack vector

Restricted profile access via mutable runtime selection

Published Apr 23, 2026 · Updated Apr 23, 2026

Access control bypass in OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 allows remote authenticated users to access restricted browser proxy profiles. The node browser proxy accepted persistent profile mutations and runtime profile selection without reapplying the allowProfiles restriction to the resulting target. Exploitation requires low-privileged Gateway access and a configured allowProfiles boundary; it exposes data and actions available through the restricted profile.
