Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.5.6 Description Insufficient scope validation in the Active Memory write scope allows Gateway operators with operator.write access to modify global configuration. This privilege escalation enables users to apply...

CVE-2026-53866: Missing Authorization

OpenClaw before 2026.5.12 contains an allowlist bypass vulnerability in shell inline-command parsing that allows authenticated operators to execute unapproved commands. A command request using shell inline-command forms could route through a parser case missing the expected allowlist decision,...

CVE-2026-53847: Incorrect Privilege Assignment

OpenClaw before 2026.5.6 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Active Memory write scope that allows Gateway operators with operator.write access to modify global configuration without requiring operator.admin privileges. Attackers with operator.write access can exploit insufficien...

CVE-2026-53845: Protection Mechanism Failure

OpenClaw before 2026.5.6 contains a hook bypass vulnerability where skill commands routed through the affected dispatch path skip before-tool-call hook coverage. Attackers can exploit this by sending skill commands through the vulnerable dispatch path to bypass hook-based auditing and policy...

PT-2026-49769

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.4.25 Description A scope containment bypass exists in the device re-pairing process. Authenticated operators can restore or retain broader scopes than intended by submitting re-pairing requests with empty scope...

CVE-2026-53852: Not Failing Securely

OpenClaw before 2026.4.25 contains a scope containment bypass vulnerability in device re-pairing that allows authenticated operators to restore broader scopes than intended by submitting empty-scope re-pairing requests. Attackers can exploit this by sending re-pairing requests with empty scope se...

CVE-2026-53855: Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs

OpenClaw before 2026.4.2 contains an inline-eval bypass vulnerability allowing authenticated operators to weaken strict allowlist checks via shell positional parameters. Attackers can combine allowlisted tools with shell positional arguments to place inline-eval content in shell carriers outside...

CVE-2026-53861: Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs

OpenClaw before 2026.5.6 contains an allowlist bypass vulnerability in the macOS Swift exec feature that misses combined POSIX inline-command flags. Attackers can execute shell content outside the intended allowlist check by using combined flag forms, potentially allowing unauthorized command...

CVE-2026-53865: Untrusted Search Path

OpenClaw before 2026.5.2 contains a path traversal vulnerability in maintenance task execution that allows workspace-derived service paths to influence trash command selection. Attackers can execute unintended local executables from operator-unintended paths during maintenance operations by...

CVE-2026-53856: Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource

OpenClaw 2026.4.23 before 2026.4.24 contains an insecure file permissions vulnerability in config recovery that restores OpenClaw.json with overly broad permissions. Local attackers on shared hosts can read sensitive configuration data by exploiting the recovery path to access the restored config...

EUVD-2026-36627

OpenClaw before 2026.5.7 contains a hostname validation vulnerability in retry endpoint checks that allows matching hostname prefixes instead of exact hostnames. Attackers can exploit this by crafting a hostname prefix resembling a trusted host to send authentication material to untrusted endpoin...
