Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in OpenClaw, Clawdbot and Moltbot up to 2026.2.14 and classified as problematic. Affected by this issue is an unknown function of the component Telegram Bot Tokens Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a insufficiently protected credentials vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-522. The product transmits or stores authentication credentials, but it uses an insecure method that is susceptible to unauthorized interception and/or retrieval. Impacted is confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Telegram bot tokens can appear in error messages and stack traces (for example, when request URLs include `https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/...`). Prior to version 2026.2.15, OpenClaw logged these strings without redaction, which could leak the bot token into logs, crash reports, CI output, or support bundles. Disclosure of a Telegram bot token allows an attacker to impersonate the bot and take over Bot API access. Users should upgrade to version 2026.2.15 to obtain a fix and rotate the Telegram bot token if it may have been exposed.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-27003 since 02/17/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. Local access is required to approach this attack. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available. This vulnerability is assigned to T1552 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.

Upgrading to version 2026.2.15 eliminates this vulnerability.
