Openclaw

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 bypassing exec allowlist matching restrictions.Show less

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 fails to properly sanitize PIP_INDEX_URL and UV_INDEX_URL environment variables in host execution contexts, allowing attackers to redirect Python package-index traffic. Attackers can exploit this bypass to intercept or manipulate package management operations by injecting malicious index URLs through unsanitized environment variables.Show less

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 execute different underlying programs.Show less

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a configuration management vulnerability where startup migration treats empty-array settings as missing values. Attackers can restart the application to rehydrate revoked Tlon configuration from file state, bypassing intended revocation controls.Show less

OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains an incomplete host environment variable sanitization vulnerability in host-env-security-policy.json and host-env-security.ts that allows package-manager environment overrides. Attackers can exploit approved exec requests to redirect package resolution or runtime bootstrap to attacker-controlled infrastructure and execute trojanized content.Show less

OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability where bootstrap setup codes are not bound to intended device roles and scopes during pairing. Attackers can exploit this during first-use device pairing to escalate privileges beyond their intended role and scope.Show less

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 stores Nostr privateKey as plaintext in configuration, allowing exposure through config.get method calls that bypass redaction mechanisms. Attackers can retrieve unredacted configuration data to obtain plaintext signing keys used for Nostr protocol operations.Show less

OpenClaw before 2026.3.24 contains an environment variable injection vulnerability in the CLI backend runner that allows attackers to inject malicious environment variables through workspace configuration. Attackers can craft malicious workspace configs to inject arbitrary environment variables into the backend process spawning, enabling code execution or sensitive data exposure.Show less

OpenClaw before 2026.4.2 contains an arbitrary directory deletion vulnerability in mirror mode that allows attackers to delete remote directories by influencing remoteWorkspaceDir and remoteAgentWorkspaceDir configuration values. Attackers can manipulate these OpenShell config paths to cause mirror sync operations to delete unintended remote directory contents and replace them with uploaded workspace data.Show less

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in Discord voice ingress that allows attackers to bypass channel and member allowlist restrictions. Attackers can exploit stale-role validation gaps and improper channel name validation to gain unauthorized access to restricted voice channels.Show less

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains an access control bypass vulnerability in the Discord voice manager that allows attackers to bypass channel-level member access allowlist restrictions. Attackers can send Discord voice ingress requests before channel allowlist authorization is performed, gaining unauthorized access to restricted voice channels.Show less

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.Show less

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability allowing authenticated operators with write permissions to access admin-class Talk Voice configuration persistence. Attackers with operator.write privileges can exploit the chat.send endpoint to reach and modify sensitive voice configuration settings intended for administrators only.Show less

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability allowing paired nodes with role=node to dispatch node.event agent requests with unrestricted gateway-side tool access. Attackers with trusted paired node credentials can escalate privileges by leveraging unrestricted agent.request dispatch to achieve remote code execution on the gateway.Show less

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a fail-open vulnerability in the plugin installation flow where security scan failures do not block installation. Attackers can exploit scan failures to install untrusted plugins when operators proceed despite visible scan warnings.Show less

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains an allowlist bypass vulnerability in Matrix thread root and reply context handling that fails to properly validate message senders. Attackers can fetch thread-root and reply context messages that should be filtered by sender allowlists, bypassing access controls.Show less

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the /phone arm and /phone disarm endpoints that fails to properly enforce operator.admin scope checks for external channels. Attackers can bypass authentication restrictions to arm or disarm phone channels without proper administrative privileges.Show less

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 performs Discord audio preflight transcription before validating member authorization, allowing unauthenticated attackers to consume resources. Remote attackers can trigger audio preflight processing without member allowlist validation to cause resource exhaustion.Show less

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, CARGO_BUILD_RUSTC, and CMAKE_C_COMPILER via environment overrides. Attackers with approved host-exec requests can override compiler binaries to execute arbitrary code during build processes.Show less

OpenClaw before 2026.4.2 fails to normalize trailing-dot localhost hosts in remote CDP discovery responses, allowing bypass of loopback protections. Attackers can craft hostile discovery responses returning localhost. to retarget authenticated browser control toward localhost endpoints and expose browser state.Show less
