Description

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-3cw3-5vxw-g2h3. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the remote onboarding component that persists unauthenticated discovery endpoints without explicit trust confirmation. Attackers can spoof discovery endpoints to redirect onboarding toward malicious gateways and capture gateway credentials or traffic.
