CVE-2026-53854 is an authorization bypass and privilege escalation vulnerability in OpenClaw, an open-source WhatsApp gateway CLI with an integrated Pi RPC agent, affecting versions before 2026.4.25. The flaw exists in the command authentication and routing flow for internal and webchat command paths. OpenClaw uses the ownerAllowFrom setting to determine owner-level authorization, and a wildcard value such as '*' can grant owner authorization. In affected versions, this authorization state is retained in shared controller context and is not cleared before evaluating subsequent channels. As a result, a lower-privileged sender on an internal or webchat path can inherit a previously established wildcard owner authorization state across channel boundaries and execute owner-style commands outside the intended channel scope.
