What is CVE-2026-41371?

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.28 exhibit a vulnerability in the chat.send function, which allows unauthorized users to execute administrative session reset commands. By exploiting this improper authorization, attackers can manipulate target sessions, overwrite existing session data, and generate new session IDs, effectively bypassing the necessary admin privileges. This poses significant risks by allowing unauthorized access to sensitive session management features.
