CVE-2026-45223Crabbox < 0.9.0 Authentication Bypass via Admin Claim Injection

Updated under an hour ago ()

Does this affect you?

It affects openclaw crabbox. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

Crabbox before 0.9.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the coordinator user-token verification path where the verifyUserToken() function fails to reject payloads containing an admin claim, allowing attackers to escalate privileges. An attacker with access to the shared non-admin token can craft a user-token payload with admin: true, sign it using HMAC-SHA256, and present it to admin-only coordinator routes to gain full coordinator admin access including lease visibility, pool state management, and forced release operations.
