CVE-2026-100590 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-09-26

OpenClaw is a communication platform that handles voice responses and gateway configuration. A flaw in the /voice set command allows users without owner privileges to change the voice settings used by Talk responses, compromising the integrity of gateway configuration. While this does not expose credentials or grant additional system access, it allows unauthorized modification of production voice output settings.
