SCA: security update for openclaw (GHSA-3cvx-236h-m9fj)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438165

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.21 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the Control UI when
allowInsecureAuth is explicitly enabled and the gateway is exposed over plaintext HTTP, allowing attackers
to bypass device identity and pairing verification. An attacker with leaked or intercepted credentials can
obtain high-privilege Control UI access by exploiting the lack of secure authentication enforcement over
unencrypted HTTP connections. (CVE-2026-32034)

Solution

Update the openclaw library and its related packages to version 2026.2.21 or later.
