OpenClaw: Attackers can keep access after credentials are revoked

published 7 months ago

Summary

OpenClaw versions 2026.3.28 and earlier fail to end active connections when a device is removed or a token is revoked. This allows an attacker with previously revoked credentials to keep accessing the system until the connection is manually closed. Update to OpenClaw 2026.3.28 or later to address this issue.

What to do

Update GitHub Actions openclaw to version 2026.3.28.
