Security Vulnerabilities
OpenClaw before 2026.4.25 contains a scope containment bypass vulnerability in device re-pairing that allows authenticated operators to restore broader scopes than intended by submitting empty-scope re-pairing requests. Attackers can exploit this by sending re-pairing requests with empty scope sets to skip containment guards and retain unauthorized device access.

OpenClaw before 2026.5.12 contains an argument pattern validation bypass in the exec allowlist that allows attackers to execute disallowed arguments for allowlisted executables on Linux and macOS systems. Attackers can bypass configured argPattern restrictions by directly invoking allowlisted executables with unrestricted arguments, potentially enabling unauthorized file access, network access, or command execution.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.25 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in internal and webchat command authentication that allows senders to inherit wildcard ownerAllowFrom state across channel boundaries. Attackers can exploit this by sending commands on affected internal or webchat paths to execute owner-style command behavior outside intended channel scope, potentially bypassing access controls.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.2 contains an inline-eval bypass vulnerability allowing authenticated operators to weaken strict allowlist checks via shell positional parameters. Attackers can combine allowlisted tools with shell positional arguments to place inline-eval content in shell carriers outside intended allowlist rules, enabling execution of unapproved shell-provided content.

OpenClaw before 2026.5.2 contains an environment variable injection vulnerability allowing workspace .env files to influence Python runtime selection through CLOUDSDK_PYTHON during Gmail setup gcloud execution. Attackers with repository access can manipulate the CLOUDSDK_PYTHON variable to execute setup through unintended local Python paths, potentially enabling arbitrary code execution.

OpenClaw before 2026.5.26 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability where a surviving pairing-scoped device session can re-establish node token authority after revocation. Attackers with a paired device can regain WebSocket node-level access without renewed approval, weakening revocation controls and maintaining unauthorized access longer than intended.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.29 contains a session visibility check bypass vulnerability in shared memory search that allows authenticated callers to access memory entries without proper authorization. Attackers can skip session visibility guards on the search path to retrieve memory entries that should not be visible to their session.

OpenClaw before 2026.5.6 contains a hook bypass vulnerability where skill commands routed through the affected dispatch path skip before-tool-call hook coverage. Attackers can exploit this by sending skill commands through the vulnerable dispatch path to bypass hook-based auditing and policy enforcement mechanisms.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.29 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the install helper that allows workspace .env files to override the npm_execpath configuration used for bundled runtime dependency installation. Attackers with workspace access can execute unintended local package-manager executables during dependency setup to compromise the build environment.

OpenClaw before 2026.5.6 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Active Memory write scope that allows Gateway operators with operator.write access to modify global configuration without requiring operator.admin privileges. Attackers with operator.write access can exploit insufficient scope validation to apply unauthorized configuration changes beyond the intended write scope.
