CVE-2026-32970 is a low-severity vulnerability rated 3.3/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenClaw before 2026.3.11 contains a credential fallback vulnerability where unavailable local gateway.auth.token and gateway.auth.password SecretRefs are treated as unset, allowing fallback to remote credentials in local mode. Attackers can exploit misconfigured local auth references to cause CLI and helper paths to select incorrect credential sources, potentially bypassing intended local authentication boundaries.. EPSS estimates a 0.10% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
