Description

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-2pr2-hcv6-7gwv. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 fails to disconnect active WebSocket sessions when devices are removed or tokens are revoked. Attackers with revoked credentials can maintain unauthorized access through existing live sessions until forced reconnection.

How to fix

Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.
