OpenClaw allowProfiles Access Control Bypass

IdentifiersCVE-2026-41353CWE-472· External Control of…

CVE-2026-41353 is an access control bypass vulnerability affecting OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.22. The flaw is in the allowProfiles feature, where profile restrictions can be circumvented through persistent profile mutation combined with runtime profile selection. According to the provided context, a remote attacker can manipulate browser proxy profiles at runtime to access profiles that should be restricted, defeating the intended profile-based access control model.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows an attacker to bypass intended access controls and gain access to restricted profiles. The provided CVSS context indicates high confidentiality and high integrity impact, with no stated availability impact. In practice, this can expose protected profile data and permit unauthorized modification or use of restricted profile configurations.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate upgrade is not possible, limit or disable use of the vulnerable allowProfiles functionality where feasible, restrict low-privilege remote access to affected OpenClaw instances, and prevent untrusted users from modifying or selecting browser proxy profiles at runtime. Additional compensating controls should include tighter authorization checks around profile selection and mutation paths until the patched version can be deployed.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.3.22 or later, which contains the fix for this vulnerability. The provided context also references a fixing commit in the OpenClaw repository: eac93507c36ccd0c359fba18fa466ef6448be8a5.
