CVE-2026-32023 OpenClaw < 2026.2.24 - Approval Gating Bypass via Dispatch-Wrapper Depth-Cap Mismatch in system.run

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.24 contain an approval gating bypass vulnerability in system.run allowlist mode where nested transparent dispatch wrappers can suppress shell-wrapper detection. Attackers can exploit this by chaining multiple dispatch wrappers like /usr/bin/env to execute /bin/sh...
