CVE-2026-35661
OpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in Telegram callback query handling that allows attackers to mutate session state without satisfying normal DM pairing requirements.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.29%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in Telegram callback query handling that allows attackers to mutate session state without satisfying normal DM pairing requirements. Remote attackers can exploit weaker callback-only authorization in direct messages to bypass DM pairing and modify session state.
