Frequently Asked Questions
What is CVE-2026-100551?
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.
Is CVE-2026-100551 actively exploited?

Weaknesses (CWE)
CWE-295 — Improper Certificate Validation: The product does not validate, or incorrectly validates, a certificate.
- [Architecture and Design, Implementation] Certificates should be carefully managed and checked to assure that data are encrypted with the intended owner's public key.
- [Implementation] If certificate pinning is being used, ensure that all relevant properties of the certificate are fully validated before the certificate is pinned, including the hostname.
