CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe OpenClaw npm package prior to version 2026.8.1 is vulnerable to exposing deterministic hashes of unredacted configuration data in redacted responses, potentially allowing attackers to perform offline password verification if the Gateway password has low entropy. This could lead to unauthorized access with shared-secret operator privileges. Organizations using this package should prioritize updating to version 2026.8.1 to mitigate the risk of credential compromise.

Original NVD Description
OpenClaw (npm package openclaw) before 2026.8.1 could include deterministic hashes computed over the original, unredacted configuration in redacted configuration responses. When the Gateway password had low entropy and the remaining configuration values were reconstructable, these hashes acted as offline password verifiers: a caller able to obtain the redacted configuration (for example via config.get) could test password candidates offline without going through the rate-limited Gateway authentication path. Recovering the password could grant the documented shared-secret operator authority. Secret references were not affected in the same way. The issue is fixed in 2026.8.1.
