Summary
OpenClaw: Gateway operator.write Can Reach Admin-Class Telegram Config and Cron Persistence via send
Details

Summary

Gateway operator.write Can Reach Admin-Class Telegram Config and Cron Persistence via send

Current Maintainer Triage

  • Status: narrow
  • Normalized severity: medium
  • Assessment: Real shipped operator.write to admin-class Telegram config or cron persistence bug, but it is an authenticated sink-specific escalation and high is too high given the narrower scope.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Latest published npm version: 2026.3.31
  • Vulnerable version range: <=2026.3.24
  • Patched versions: >= 2026.3.28
  • First stable tag containing the fix: v2026.3.28

Fix Commit(s)

  • b7d70ade3b9900dbe97bd73be9c02e924ff3c986 — 2026-03-25T12:12:09-06:00

Release Process Note

  • The fix is already present in released version 2026.3.28.
  • This draft looks ready for final maintainer disposition or publication, not additional code-fix work.

Thanks @zpbrent for reporting.

GHSA-777W-RPR6-C52H

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-22 22:00 – Updated: 2026-07-22 22:00
VLAI
Summary
n8n: Privilege Escalation and Code Execution via Full Public API Key Scope Assignment to Token Exchange JWTs
Details

Impact

JWTs issued through the Token Exchange module were assigned all Public API key scopes, regardless of the acting user's actual role. A low-privileged user who could obtain a valid external JWT trusted by a configured issuer could therefore use the resulting access token to invoke administrator-only Public API operations, such as role escalation, user creation, and user deletion.

The issue only affects instances where the Token Exchange feature and the Public API are enabled (N8N_TOKEN_EXCHANGE_ENABLED=true, N8N_ENV_FEAT_TOKEN_EXCHANGE=true) and the attacker can obtain an external JWT accepted by a configured trusted key. Role escalation additionally requires an Advanced Permissions license; Community Package installation additionally requires N8N_COMMUNITY_PACKAGES_ENABLED=true and N8N_UNVERIFIED_PACKAGES_ENABLED=true.

Patches

The issue has been fixed in n8n version 2.30.1 and 2.29.8. Users should upgrade to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability.

Workarounds

If upgrading is not immediately possible, administrators should consider the following temporary mitigations: - Disable the Token Exchange feature by setting N8N_TOKEN_EXCHANGE_ENABLED=false or N8N_ENV_FEAT_TOKEN_EXCHANGE=false. - If Token Exchange cannot be disabled, restrict Public API access at the network level to trusted clients only. - Disable unverified Community Package installation by setting N8N_UNVERIFIED_PACKAGES_ENABLED=false to eliminate the code execution path.

These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.

Mitigation MIT-1
Architecture and Design Operation

Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.

Mitigation MIT-48
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.

Mitigation MIT-49
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.

CAPEC-122: Privilege Abuse

An adversary is able to exploit features of the target that should be reserved for privileged users or administrators but are exposed to use by lower or non-privileged accounts. Access to sensitive information and functionality must be controlled to ensure that only authorized users are able to access these resources.

CAPEC-233: Privilege Escalation

An adversary exploits a weakness enabling them to elevate their privilege and perform an action that they are not supposed to be authorized to perform.

CAPEC-58: Restful Privilege Elevation

An adversary identifies a Rest HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permission method allowing them to perform various malicious actions upon server data due to lack of access control mechanisms implemented within the application service accepting HTTP messages.
