SCA: security update for openclaw (GHSA-39mp-545q-w789)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 439456

Description

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

- OpenClaw before 2026.3.24 contains missing authorization vulnerabilities in the /send and /allowlist chat
command handlers. The /send command allows non-owner command-authorized senders to change owner-only
session delivery policy settings, and the /allowlist mutating commands fail to enforce operator.admin
scope. Attackers with operator.write scope can invoke /send on|off|inherit to persistently mutate the
current session's sendPolicy, and execute /allowlist add commands to modify config-backed allowFrom
entries and pairing-store allowlist entries without proper admin authorization. (CVE-2026-35620)

Solution

Update the openclaw library and its related packages to version 2026.3.24 or later.
