OpenClaw Windows Node before 2026.7.1-3 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in NodeService capture handlers that allows connected gateways or agents to perform screen snapshots, camera snaps, and location captures without consent prompts. Attackers can invoke screen.snapshot, camera.snap, and location.get over the node WebSocket to silently capture screenshots, photograph users through webcams, and obtain device geolocation without user interaction.
