OpenClaw Token Revocation Bypass Vulnerability Disclosed

A token revocation vulnerability, CVE-2026-53824, has been identified in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.4.24. This flaw allows attackers with previously valid slash tokens to execute commands briefly after their tokens have been revoked, exploiting a timing issue during monitor refresh windows. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-613, indicating insufficient session expiration, and poses a risk of unauthorized command execution depending on the operator's configuration. Affected organizations include those using OpenClaw for automation and command execution, where revoked tokens could lead to significant operational impacts such as data loss or service disruption. The CVSS score is 6.5, reflecting the medium severity of the issue, as exploitation requires prior valid token access. Immediate upgrades to version 2026.4.24 or later are recommended to mitigate this risk.

Key Points: • CVE-2026-53824 allows exploitation of revoked tokens in OpenClaw. • Attackers can execute commands briefly after token revocation due to timing issues. • Organizations must upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.4.24 or later to mitigate risks.
