CVE-2026-32041

OpenClaw: Browser control startup could continue unauthenticated after auth bootstrap failure

Summary

When browser control started without explicit auth credentials, OpenClaw attempted to bootstrap auth automatically. In affected versions, if that bootstrap step threw an error, startup could continue and expose browser-control routes without authentication.

Impact

On affected deployments, a local process (or a loopback-reachable SSRF path) could access browser-control routes, including evaluate-capable actions, without auth.

Fix

Startup now fails closed: if bootstrap auth fails and no explicit token/password is configured, browser-control startup aborts.
