CVE-2026-32897
Last modified
CVE-2026-32897 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.3/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22 reuse gateway.auth.token as a fallback hash secret for owner-ID prompt obfuscation when commands.ownerDisplay is set to hash and commands.ownerDisplaySecret is unset, creating dual-use of authentication secrets across security domains. Attackers with access to system prompts sent to third-party model providers can derive the gateway authentication token from the hash outputs, compromising gateway authentication security.. EPSS estimates a 0.26% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
