Approval bypass via unbound execution environment
Published Mar 21, 2026 · Updated Mar 21, 2026
Authorization bypass in OpenClaw before 2026.2.26 allows remote authenticated users to alter approved node-host executions. The node system.run approval consumer accepted legacy or incomplete bindings that did not cover the environment hash alongside command arguments, working directory, agent, and session context. Exploitation requires node-host system.run, approvals enabled as an integrity control, access to an approval id in the same context, and user interaction; modified environment input can then change an approved execution.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
