OpenClaw before 2026.4.22 contains a webhook secret revocation bypass vulnerability allowing callers with old Slack and Zalo webhook secrets to remain active after secrets.reload. Attackers can exploit the stale-secret window to deliver webhook events after operator-expected secret revocation, potentially accepting previous credentials.
OpenClaw before 2026.5.18 contains a policy enforcement vulnerability in system.run safe-bin allowlist validation that allows shell expansion to modify command interpretation on POSIX nodes. Authenticated operators can exploit shell metacharacters in approved commands to read unintended node-local files and expose sensitive configuration data.
OpenClaw before 2026.5.18 contains an identity header validation vulnerability allowing local same-host callers to forge trusted-proxy identity headers. Attackers with access to the proxy-facing Gateway port can supply forged identity headers to assume operator identity and potentially escalate privileges.
OpenClaw before 2026.4.29 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the QQBot streaming command that allows authenticated senders to mutate configuration without explicit allowFrom restrictions. Attackers can modify QQBot streaming configuration outside intended admin policy by reaching the affected command without non-wildcard allowlist entry requirements.
OpenClaw before 2026.5.12 contains an exec denylist bypass vulnerability in the bundle MCP loopback session-spawn path that allows authenticated callers to bypass intended command restrictions. Attackers can reach the affected bundled MCP session-spawn path to start sessions with broader command reach than intended.
OpenClaw before 2026.5.18 accepts WebSocket client-declared operator scopes before binding to server-approved pairing or trusted-proxy authorization baseline. Unpaired or restricted trusted-proxy Control UI clients can obtain cached operator.admin authority on live WebSocket connections to execute admin-gated Gateway RPCs.
OpenClaw before 2026.5.18 contains a command injection vulnerability where shell wrapper argv could change between approval and execution. Attackers can rebuild command arguments after allowlist approval to execute unapproved command shapes, potentially bypassing security controls.
OpenClaw before 2026.5.3 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the allowFrom feature that binds to mutable Slack display names. Attackers with Slack account access can change display name metadata to match policy entries, potentially gaining unauthorized agent access intended for other identities.
OpenClaw before 2026.4.24 contains a token revocation vulnerability allowing callers with revoked slash tokens to continue executing commands during monitor refresh windows. Attackers can exploit stale token acceptance to invoke slash command behavior briefly after token revocation, potentially executing unauthorized actions depending on operator configuration.
OpenClaw before 2026.4.7 contains an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the memory-wiki ingest feature that allows authenticated Gateway operators with operator.write scope to read local files outside intended ingest sources. Attackers with operator.write access can specify arbitrary local file paths to import file content into wiki memory, bypassing access restrictions.
