Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
OpenClaw before 2026.3.11 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability allowing write-scoped callers to reach admin-only session reset logic. Attackers with operator.write scope can issue agent requests containing /new or /reset slash commands to reset targeted conversation state without holding operator.admin privileges.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

OpenClaw before version 2026.3.11 contains an authorization bypass where users holding only operator.write scope can access admin-only session reset functionality. By issuing agent requests containing /new or /reset slash commands, attackers can reset targeted conversation state without possessing the required operator.admin privileges.

MitigationUpgrade to OpenClaw 2026.3.11 or later, which enforces proper authorization checks ensuring session reset operations require operator.admin privileges.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed OpenClaw version
    Run the command to retrieve the OpenClaw version (e.g., openclaw --version, or check version file in installation directory)
    Affected if Version is lower than 2026.3.11
  2. Check session reset slash commands availability
    Inspect the agent request handler or command routing configuration to confirm /new and /reset slash commands are exposed
    Affected if These commands are enabled and accessible in the deployment
  3. Verify user scope assignments
    Review the user or service account configuration to determine what scopes are assigned (operator.write, operator.admin)
    Affected if Users or agents are assigned operator.write scope without operator.admin
  4. Test authorization boundary for session reset
    Submit an agent request containing /new or /reset command using a credential that has only operator.write scope, observe if the session resets successfully
    Affected if The request succeeds and resets conversation state without returning an authorization error
  5. Inspect authorization policy configuration
    Examine the authorization policy file or settings that govern which scopes permit session reset operations
    Affected if Policy does not enforce operator.admin requirement for /new or /reset endpoints

Environment is affected if running OpenClaw version below 2026.3.11 and users with only operator.write scope can successfully execute session reset via /new or /reset slash commands.
