CVE-2026-32025: OpenClaw's browser-origin WebSocket auth hardening gap could enable loopback password brute-force chains
(updated )
This issue is a browser-origin WebSocket auth chain on local loopback deployments using password auth. It is serious, but conditional: an attacker must get the user to open a malicious page and then successfully guess the gateway password.
