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...

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...

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...

GHSA-XW4P-PW82-HQR7 OpenClaw's sandbox skill mirroring path traversal vulnerability could write outside the sandbox workspace

Overview In affected versions, OpenClaw’s sandbox skill mirroring used the skill’s frontmatter name as part of the destination path when copying skills into the sandbox workspace. A crafted skill name containing traversal segments for example ../ or an absolute path could cause the copy to write...

GHSA-JMM5-FVH5-GF4P OpenClaw has non-constant-time token comparison in hooks authentication

Summary OpenClaw hooks previously compared the provided hook token using a regular string comparison. Because this comparison is not constant-time, an attacker with network access to the hooks endpoint could potentially use timing measurements across many requests to gradually infer the token. In...
