EPSS · scored 2026-10-27

OpenClaw before 2026.5.26 contains an exec allowlist bypass vulnerability allowing authenticated operators to execute wrapper-level side effects outside allowlisted command intent. Attackers can craft command requests that bypass allowlist validation by leveraging transparent command wrappers to perform unintended operations.

  • WID-SEC-W-2026-1738OpenClaw: Mehrere SchwachstellenDeutsch2026-05-28csaf · cert_bundDE

    Ein entfernter, authentisierter Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in OpenClaw ausnutzen, um Sicherheitsmechanismen zu umgehen, erhöhte Berechtigungen zu erlangen, Informationen offenzulegen, Konfigurationen zu manipulieren, beliebige Befehle oder Code auszuführen sowie interne Systeme über SSRF anzugreifen.

  • GHSA-cwpp-5962-q4f6OpenClaw: Exec allowlist could miss side effects from transparent command wrappers2026-06-18ghsa · osvUS

    ### Summary Exec allowlist could miss side effects from transparent command wrappers. In affected versions, a command request that reaches the exec allowlist path could be evaluated against the inner command while the wrapper invocation still executed. This advisory is scoped to the named feature and configuration. It does not change OpenClaw's trusted-operator model: authenticated Gateway operators, installed plugins, and intentional local execution surfaces remain trusted unless a separate policy, approval, allowlist, sandbox, or auth boundary is crossed. ### Impact When the affected feature is enabled and reachable, this could perform wrapper-level side effects outside the intent of the allowlisted command. Practical impact depends on the operator's configuration and whether lower-trust input can reach that path. ### Patched Versions The first stable patched version is `2026.5.26`. ### Mitigations review wrapper commands carefully and require approval for shell-like wrapper usage until patched. As general hardening, keep channel and tool allowlists narrow, avoid sharing one Gateway between mutually untrusted users, and disable the affected feature when it is not needed.
