CVE-2026-42432

OpenClaw vulnerable component: the node-pairing flow in the OpenClaw npm package allows a previously paired node to reconnect and run exec-capable commands without operator.admin re-pair authentication, enabling local privilege escalation. Affected versions include

CVE-2026-42426 OpenClaw < 2026.4.8 - Improper Authorization in node.pair.approve via operator.write Scope

OpenClaw before 2026.4.8 contains an improper authorization vulnerability where the node.pair.approve method accepts operator.write scope instead of the narrower operator.pairing scope, allowing unprivileged users to approve node pairing. Attackers with operator.write permissions can bypass pairi...

CVE-2026-41392

OpenClaw has a vulnerability (CVE-2026-41392) where exec allowlist matching can be bypassed by shell init-file wrapper invocations. Affected product: OpenClaw before 2026.3.31. Attack path involves using shell options such as --rcfile, --init-file, and --startup-file to load attacker-controlled i...

CVE-2026-41390 OpenClaw < 2026.3.28 - Exec Allowlist Bypass via Unregistered /usr/bin/script Wrapper

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains an exec allowlist bypass vulnerability where allow-always persistence fails to unwrap /usr/bin/script and similar wrappers before storing trust decisions. Attackers can obtain user approval for one wrapped command to persist trust for wrapper binaries that execu...

PT-2026-35765

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.28 Description An execution approval issue exists in exec-approvals-allowlist.ts where allow-always persistence trusts wrapper carrier executables instead of the actual invoked targets. This allows attackers t...

CVE-2026-41390: Reliance on Untrusted Inputs in a Security Decision

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains an exec allowlist bypass vulnerability where allow-always persistence fails to unwrap /usr/bin/script and similar wrappers before storing trust decisions. Attackers can obtain user approval for one wrapped command to persist trust for wrapper binaries that execu...

CVE-2026-41369: Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains insufficient environment variable sanitization in host exec operations, failing to filter package, registry, Docker, compiler, and TLS override variables. Attackers can exploit this by injecting malicious environment variables to override critical system...

PT-2026-35758

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.31 Description An incomplete host-env-security-policy.json fails to restrict compiler binary environment variables. This allows untrusted models to substitute CC, CXX, CARGO BUILD RUSTC, and CMAKE C COMPILER...

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains an exec allowlist bypass vulnerability allowing attackers to inherit allowlist trust via shell init-file wrapper invocations. Attackers can exploit shell options like --rcfile, --init-file, and --startup-file to load attacker-chosen initialization files while...

CVE-2026-42423: Not Failing Securely

OpenClaw before 2026.4.8 contains an approval-timeout fallback mechanism that bypasses strictInlineEval explicit-approval requirements on gateway and node exec hosts. Attackers can exploit this timeout fallback to execute inline eval commands that should require explicit user approval,...

CVE-2026-42432: Incorrect Authorization

OpenClaw before 2026.4.8 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability allowing previously paired nodes to reconnect with exec-capable commands without the operator.admin scope requirement. Attackers can bypass re-pairing authentication to execute privileged commands on the local assistant system...

CVE-2026-41373: Uncontrolled Search Path Element

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains an incomplete host-env-security-policy.json that fails to restrict compiler binary environment variables, allowing untrusted models to substitute CC, CXX, CARGOBUILDRUSTC, and CMAKECCOMPILER via environment overrides.
