High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.36%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
OpenClaw Windows Node before 2026.7.1-3 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in NodeService capture handlers that allows connected gateways or agents to perform screen snapshots, camera snaps, and location captures without consent prompts.
