OpenClaw < 2026.2.25 - Approval Identity Mismatch in system.run Command Execution
Published Mar 21, 2026

MEDIUMCVSS 4.0
EPSS 0.54%
Description
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.25 contain an approval-integrity bypass vulnerability in system.run where rendered command text is used as approval identity while trimming argv token whitespace, but runtime execution uses raw argv. An attacker can craft a trailing-space executable token to execute a different binary than what the approver displayed, allowing unexpected command execution under the OpenClaw runtime user when they can influence command argv and reuse an approval context.
