Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in OpenClaw up to 2026.3.27 and classified as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown function. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a reliance on untrusted inputs in a security decision vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-807.

As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains an execution approval vulnerability in exec-approvals-allowlist.ts that allows allow-always persistence to trust wrapper carrier executables instead of invoked targets. Attackers can exploit positional carrier executable routing through dispatch wrappers to establish broader allowlist entries than intended, weakening execution approval boundaries.

The weakness was released by KeenSecurityLab and qclawer as GHSA-p4x4-2r7f-wjxg. It is possible to read the advisory at github.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2026-41380 since 04/20/2026.
