OpenClaw: Node system.run approval bypass via parent-symlink cwd rebind

Summary For host=node executions, approval context could be bypassed after approval-time by rebinding a writable parent symlink in cwd while preserving the visible cwd string. Affected Packages / Versions - Package: openclaw npm - Affected: = 2026.2.26 planned next npm release Impact A command...

Incorrect Authorization

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via the system.run approvals. An attacker can cause execution of an unintended binary by crafting a command with a trailing-space in the executable token and...

GHSA-HWPQ-RRPF-PGCQ OpenClaw: system.run approval identity mismatch could execute a different binary than displayed

Summary system.run approvals in OpenClaw used rendered command text as the approval identity while trimming argv token whitespace. Runtime execution still used raw argv. A crafted trailing-space executable token could therefore execute a different binary than what the approver saw. Affected...

GHSA-943Q-MWMV-HHVH OpenClaw: Gateway /tools/invoke tool escalation + ACP permission auto-approval

Summary OpenClaw Gateway exposes an authenticated HTTP endpoint POST /tools/invoke intended for invoking a constrained set of tools. Two issues could combine to significantly increase blast radius in misconfigured or exposed deployments: - The HTTP gateway layer did not deny high-risk session...

OpenClaw Vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via Node Invoke Approval Bypass in Gateway

Summary A remote code execution RCE vulnerability in the gateway-to-node invocation path allowed an authenticated gateway client to bypass node-host exec approvals by injecting internal control fields into node.invoke parameters. Affected Component - Gateway method: node.invoke for node command...

GHSA-GV46-4XFQ-JV58 OpenClaw Vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via Node Invoke Approval Bypass in Gateway

Summary A remote code execution RCE vulnerability in the gateway-to-node invocation path allowed an authenticated gateway client to bypass node-host exec approvals by injecting internal control fields into node.invoke parameters. Affected Component - Gateway method: node.invoke for node command...

Incorrect Authorization

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via the node.invoke parameters. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands on connected node hosts by injecting internal control fields into the parameters,...

GHSA-HJVP-QHM6-WRH2 OpenClaw Node system.run approval context-binding weakness in approval-enabled host=node flows

Summary In approval-enabled host=node workflows, system.run approvals did not always carry a strict, versioned execution-context binding. In uncommon setups that rely on these approvals as an integrity guardrail, a previously approved request could be reused with changed env input. Affected...

Incorrect Authorization

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in the exec.approval requests. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to execute actions on unintended nodes by replaying approval requests across different node...

GHSA-6X2M-HQFW-HVPJ OpenClaw: Node exec approvals could be replayed across nodes

Summary exec.approval requests for host=node were not explicitly bound to the target nodeId, so an approval intended for one node could be replayed for a different node under the same operator-controlled gateway fleet. Impact An operator approval for a system.run request could be reused across...

GHSA-6J27-PC5C-M8W8 OpenClaw's allow-always wrapper persistence could bypass future approvals and enable command execution

Summary In openclaw npm releases up to and including 2026.2.21-2, approving wrapped system.run commands with allow-always in security=allowlist mode could persist wrapper-level allowlist entries and enable later approval-bypass execution of different inner payloads. Affected Packages / Versions -...

GHSA-5V6X-RFC3-7QFR OpenClaw has Windows system.run approval mismatch on cmd.exe /c trailing arguments

Summary A Windows system.run approval-integrity mismatch in the cmd.exe /c path could allow trailing arguments to execute while approval/audit text reflected only a benign command string. This requires an authenticated operator context using the approvals flow and a trusted Windows node. Affected...

BIT-MASTODON-2026-27468 Mastodon may allow unconfirmed FASP to make subscriptions

Mastodon is a free, open-source social network server based on ActivityPub. FASP registration requires manual approval by an administrator. In versions 4.4.0 through 4.4.13 and 4.5.0 through 4.5.6, actions performed by a FASP to subscribe to account/content lifecycle events or to backfill content...

PT-2026-23541

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.14 Description The gateway component fails to sanitize internal approval fields in node.invoke parameters, allowing authenticated clients to bypass exec approval gating for system.run commands. Attackers with...

PT-2026-26237

Summary For host=node runs, approvals validated command context but did not pin executable identity for non-path-like argv0 tokens for example tr. If PATH resolution changed after approval, execution could run a different binary. Impact A previously approved action could execute a different...
