NVD description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains an access control bypass vulnerability in the allowProfiles feature that allows attackers to circumvent profile restrictions through persistent profile mutation and runtime profile selection. Remote attackers can exploit this by manipulating browser proxy profiles at runtime to access restricted profiles and bypass intended access controls.
