Description
OpenClaw before 2026.4.9 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability allowing untrusted workspace plugins to be auto-enabled during non-interactive onboarding when provider auth choices are shadowed. Attackers can exploit this by crafting malicious workspace plugins that are automatically selected and enabled during authentication setup without explicit user consent.
