Description
OpenClaw for iOS versions >= 2026.7.1 and < 2026.8.11 do not enforce saved Gateway TLS pins in the Control UI. While native connections enforced the saved Gateway fingerprint, the authenticated Terminal and session Dashboard WebViews omitted it. If a user had accepted a Gateway fingerprint, an attacker able to redirect the same host and port and present a different certificate that is accepted by iOS system trust can serve a replacement Control UI page; opening the Terminal or a session Dashboard then allows that page to read the injected Gateway token or password. The stolen credential can grant operator access, including reading sensitive Gateway state and invoking host-capable tools. This issue is fixed in 2026.8.11.

AI Analysis

Impact

OpenClaw for iOS fails to enforce stored Gateway TLS fingerprint when rendering the Control UI. An attacker who can redirect traffic to the same host and port can present a different certificate that the iOS system trusts and serve a counterfeit Control UI page. When the user opens Terminal or a session Dashboard, the injected page can read the stored Gateway token or password. With the stolen credential an attacker may gain operator access, which includes reading sensitive Gateway state and invoking host‑capable tools.

Affected Systems

OpenClaw iOS client, versions starting at 2026.7.1 up to but not including 2026.8.11. The affected product is the OpenClaw application distributed for iOS devices.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 9.0, indicating a high severity that allows credential theft and privileged access. The EPSS score is not available, so the exploitation probability is unknown, but the lack of a KEV listing does not reduce the risk. The vulnerability requires an attacker to control the network path to the gateway and use a certificate acceptable to the operating system; this is a feasible attack vector in many environments. Until patched, the risk remains high and any device running the affected OpenClaw version is vulnerable.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to OpenClaw 2026.8.11 or later, which restores TLS pinning enforcement in all UI components.
  • Revoke any previously accepted gateway certificates on the device to remove potential covert credentials.
  • Ensure WebViews perform strict TLS pinning or block connections to untrusted certificates; if the app cannot enforce this, apply device or network policies to validate certificates strictly.
