📄 Description (English)

OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains an access control bypass vulnerability in the allowProfiles feature that allows attackers to circumvent profile restrictions through persistent profile mutation and runtime profile selection. Remote attackers can exploit this by manipulating browser proxy profiles at runtime to access restricted profiles and bypass intended access controls.

🤖 AI Executive Summary

CVE-2026-41353 is a high-severity access control bypass vulnerability in OpenClaw's allowProfiles feature that enables attackers to circumvent profile restrictions through runtime manipulation. Remote attackers can exploit this by mutating browser proxy profiles to access restricted resources without authorization. With a CVSS score of 8.1 and no patch currently available, this poses an immediate risk to organizations relying on OpenClaw for access control enforcement.

📄 Description (Arabic)

🤖 AI Intelligence Analysis Analyzed: Apr 27, 2026 07:37
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia Impact Assessment
This vulnerability poses significant risk to Saudi government agencies (NCA, NCSC), banking sector (SAMA-regulated institutions, major banks), and telecommunications providers (STC, Mobily) that may use OpenClaw for access control and profile management. The ability to bypass profile restrictions could enable unauthorized access to sensitive financial data, government systems, and critical infrastructure. Healthcare organizations using OpenClaw for patient data access control are also at elevated risk. The runtime profile mutation technique is particularly concerning for organizations with multi-tenant or role-based access control implementations.

🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
Immediate Actions:
1. Audit all OpenClaw deployments to identify systems using the allowProfiles feature
2. Implement network-level monitoring to detect suspicious profile mutation attempts and runtime profile selection anomalies
3. Review access logs for unauthorized profile access or privilege escalation attempts
4. Disable the allowProfiles feature if not critical to operations

Compensating Controls:
1. Implement additional authentication layers (MFA) for sensitive profile access
2. Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block profile mutation payloads
3. Enforce strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to prevent browser proxy manipulation
4. Implement real-time access control validation at the application layer independent of profile settings
5. Monitor for CWE-472 (Improper Preservation of Permissions) exploitation patterns

Detection Rules:
1. Alert on multiple rapid profile changes from single user session
2. Monitor for profile access patterns inconsistent with user role
3. Detect runtime profile selection requests with suspicious parameters
4. Flag access to restricted profiles outside normal business hours

Patching:
1. Subscribe to OpenClaw security advisories for patch availability
2. Prepare test environment for immediate deployment of version 2026.3.22 or later when released
3. Document current OpenClaw version and configuration for rapid patching
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
الإجراءات الفورية:
1. تدقيق جميع نشرات OpenClaw لتحديد الأنظمة التي تستخدم ميزة allowProfiles
2. تنفيذ المراقبة على مستوى الشبكة للكشف عن محاولات تحوير الملفات الشخصية المريبة
3. مراجعة سجلات الوصول للكشف عن محاولات الوصول غير المصرح به أو تصعيد الامتيازات
4. تعطيل ميزة allowProfiles إذا لم تكن حرجة للعمليات

الضوابط التعويضية:
1. تنفيذ طبقات مصادقة إضافية (MFA) للوصول إلى الملفات الشخصية الحساسة
2. نشر قواعد جدار حماية تطبيقات الويب (WAF) للكشف عن حمولات تحوير الملفات الشخصية
3. فرض رؤوس سياسة أمان المحتوى (CSP) الصارمة لمنع التلاعب بوكيل المتصفح
4. تنفيذ التحقق من التحكم بالوصول في الوقت الفعلي على مستوى التطبيق
5. مراقبة أنماط استغلال CWE-472

قواعد الكشف:
1. تنبيهات على تغييرات ملفات شخصية متعددة سريعة من جلسة مستخدم واحدة
2. مراقبة أنماط الوصول إلى الملفات الشخصية غير المتسقة مع دور المستخدم
3. الكشف عن طلبات اختيار الملفات الشخصية في وقت التشغيل بمعاملات مريبة
4. وضع علامة على الوصول إلى الملفات الشخصية المقيدة خارج ساعات العمل العادية

التصحيح:
1. الاشتراك في تنبيهات أمان OpenClaw لتوفر التصحيحات
2. تحضير بيئة اختبار للنشر الفوري للإصدار 2026.3.22 أو أحدث عند توفره
3. توثيق إصدار OpenClaw الحالي والتكوين للتصحيح السريع
