📄 الوصف (الإنجليزية)
OpenClaw before 2026.3.11 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability allowing channel commands to mutate protected sibling-account configuration despite configWrites restrictions. Attackers with authorized access on one account can execute channel commands like /config set channels.<provider>.accounts.<id> to modify configuration on target accounts with configWrites: false.
🤖 ملخص AI
OpenClaw versions before 2026.3.11 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability (CVE-2026-32976) that allows authenticated attackers to modify protected sibling-account configurations through channel commands, bypassing configWrites restrictions. With a CVSS score of 6.5, this vulnerability poses a medium risk to multi-tenant environments where account isolation is critical. No patch is currently available, requiring immediate compensating controls and access restrictions.

🇸🇦 التأثير على المملكة العربية السعودية
Saudi financial institutions (SAMA-regulated banks) and government agencies (NCA oversight) using OpenClaw for multi-tenant account management face significant risk of unauthorized configuration changes affecting sibling accounts. Telecom operators (STC, Mobily) managing customer accounts and energy sector organizations (ARAMCO subsidiaries) with account hierarchies are particularly vulnerable. The vulnerability enables lateral privilege escalation within authorized user sessions, potentially compromising account isolation and data segregation requirements mandated by SAMA CSF and NCA ECC 2024.

🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
1. Audit all OpenClaw instances for version < 2026.3.11 and document affected deployments
2. Restrict channel command access to trusted administrators only; implement principle of least privilege
3. Enable comprehensive audit logging for all /config set commands with focus on channels.<provider>.accounts modifications
4. Review access logs for the past 90 days to identify unauthorized configuration changes
COMPENSATING CONTROLS:
5. Implement network-level access controls limiting channel command execution to specific IP ranges
6. Deploy WAF/API gateway rules to block /config set commands targeting sibling accounts
7. Enforce multi-factor authentication for all accounts with channel command privileges
8. Implement real-time alerting for any configWrites: false account modifications
PATCHING:
9. Monitor OpenClaw release notes for version 2026.3.11 or later and apply immediately upon availability
10. Test patches in isolated environment before production deployment
DETECTION:
11. Monitor for patterns: POST/PUT requests to /config endpoints with channels.<provider>.accounts parameters
12. Alert on successful modifications where target account has configWrites: false
13. Track user sessions executing channel commands across multiple account contexts
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
الإجراءات الفورية:
1. تدقيق جميع مثيلات OpenClaw للإصدار < 2026.3.11 وتوثيق النشرات المتأثرة
2. تقييد وصول أوامر القنوات للمسؤولين الموثوقين فقط؛ تطبيق مبدأ أقل امتياز
3. تفعيل تسجيل التدقيق الشامل لجميع أوامر /config set مع التركيز على تعديلات channels.<provider>.accounts
4. مراجعة سجلات الوصول لآخر 90 يوماً لتحديد التغييرات غير المصرح بها
الضوابط التعويضية:
5. تطبيق ضوابط الوصول على مستوى الشبكة لتحديد تنفيذ أوامر القنوات على نطاقات IP محددة
6. نشر قواعد WAF/بوابة API لحظر أوامر /config set التي تستهدف الحسابات الشقيقة
7. فرض المصادقة متعددة العوامل لجميع الحسابات ذات امتيازات أوامر القنوات
8. تطبيق التنبيهات في الوقت الفعلي لأي تعديلات حساب configWrites: false
التصحيح:
9. مراقبة ملاحظات إصدار OpenClaw للإصدار 2026.3.11 أو أحدث والتطبيق فوراً عند توفره
10. اختبار التصحيحات في بيئة معزولة قبل نشر الإنتاج
الكشف:
11. مراقبة أنماط: طلبات POST/PUT إلى نقاط نهاية /config مع معاملات channels.<provider>.accounts
12. تنبيه عند التعديلات الناجحة حيث يكون للحساب المستهدف configWrites: false
13. تتبع جلسات المستخدم التي تنفذ أوامر القنوات عبر سياقات حسابات متعددة
