How to Fix CVE-2026-26326

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Openclaw dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

openclaw fixed: 2026.2.14 
npm install openclaw@2026.2.14
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls openclaw

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2026-26326, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls openclaw

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Openclaw in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2026.2.14), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls openclaw command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, where the product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. In Openclaw, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Summary `skills.status` could disclose secrets to `operator.read` clients by returning raw resolved config values in `configChecks` for skill `requires.config` paths. ### Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected: `<= 2026.2.13` - Patched: `2026.2.14` ### Details The gateway method `skills.status` returned a requirements report that included `configChecks[].value` (the resolved value for each `requires.config` entry). If a skill required a broad config subtree (for example `channels.discord`), the report could include secrets such as Discord bot tokens. `skills.status` is callable with `operator.read`, so read-scoped clients could obtain secrets without `operator.admin` / `config.*` access. ### Fix - Stop including raw resolved config values in requirement checks (return only `{ path, satisfied }`). - Narrow the Discord skill requirement to the token key. Fix commit(s): - d3428053d95eefbe10ecf04f92218ffcba55ae5a - ebc68861a61067fc37f9298bded3eec9de0ba783 ### Mitigation Rotate any Discord tokens that may have been exposed to read-scoped clients. Thanks @simecek for reporting. --- Fix commits d3428053d95eefbe10ecf04f92218ffcba55ae5a and ebc68861a61067fc37f9298bded3eec9de0ba783 confirmed on main and in v2026.2.14. Upgrade to `openclaw >= 2026.2.14`.
