AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability exists in OpenClaw versions before 2026.2.22 and involves an authorization bypass in allowlist mode. Specifically, the allow-always persistence at the wrapper level allows attackers to bypass approval mechanisms. Attackers can approve seemingly benign wrapped system.run commands, which then broadens the trust boundaries and enables them to execute arbitrary commands without needing further approval on both gateway and node-host execution flows.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The impact of this vulnerability is that attackers can execute arbitrary commands on affected systems without subsequent approval. This means that once a benign command is approved, attackers can leverage this to run potentially harmful commands, compromising system integrity and security on both gateway and node-host levels.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
