Last modified

CVE-2026-32036 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.3/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenClaw gateway plugin versions prior to 2026.2.26 contain a path traversal vulnerability that allows remote attackers to bypass route authentication checks by manipulating /api/channels paths with encoded dot-segment traversal sequences. Attackers can craft alternate paths using encoded traversal patterns to access protected plugin channel routes when handlers normalize the incoming path, circumventing security controls.. EPSS estimates a 0.43% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
