Last modified

CVE-2026-32004 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.3/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.2 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the /api/channels route classification due to canonicalization depth mismatch between auth-path classification and route-path canonicalization. Attackers can bypass plugin route authentication checks by submitting deeply encoded slash variants such as multi-encoded %2f to access protected /api/channels endpoints.. EPSS estimates a 0.30% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
