OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains a policy bypass vulnerability where queued node actions are not revalidated against current command policy when delivered. Attackers can exploit stale allowlists or declarations that survive policy tightening to execute unauthorized commands.

In nspawn in systemd 233 through 259 before 260, an escape-to-host action can occur via a crafted optional config file.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in Microsoft Teams feedback invokes that allows unauthorized senders to record session feedback. Attackers can bypass sender allowlist checks via feedback invoke endpoints to trigger unauthorized feedback recording or reflection.

Step CA is an online certificate authority for secure, automated certificate management for DevOps. From 0.24.0 to before 0.30.0-rc3, an attacker can trigger an index out-of-bounds panic in Step CA by sending a crafted attestation key (AK) certificate with an empty Extended Key Usage (EKU) extension during TPM device attestation. When processing a device-attest-01 ACME challenge using TPM attestation, Step CA validates that the AK certificate contains the tcg-kp-AIKCertificate Extended Key Usage OID. During this validation, the EKU extension value is decoded from its ASN.1 representation and the first element is checked. A crafted certificate could include an EKU extension that decodes to an empty sequence, causing the code to panic when accessing the first element of the empty slice. This vulnerability is only reachable when a device-attest-01 ACME challenge with TPM attestation is configured. Deployments not using TPM device attestation are not affected. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.30.0-rc3.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains an environment variable override handling vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass the shared host environment policy through inconsistent sanitization paths. Attackers can supply blocked or malformed override keys that slip through inconsistent validation to execute arbitrary code with unintended environment variables.

An issue was discovered in musl libc 0.7.10 through 1.2.6. Stack-based memory corruption can occur during qsort of very large arrays, due to incorrectly implemented double-word primitives. The number of elements must exceed about seven million, i.e., the 32nd Leonardo number on 32-bit platforms (or the 64th Leonardo number on 64-bit platforms, which is not practical).

OpenClaw before 2026.3.23 contains an insufficient access control vulnerability in the Gateway agent /reset endpoint that allows callers with operator.write permission to reset admin sessions. Attackers with operator.write privileges can invoke /reset or /new messages with an explicit sessionKey to bypass operator.admin requirements and reset arbitrary sessions.

In systemd 259 before 260, there is local privilege escalation in systemd-machined because varlink can be used to reach the root namespace.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability allowing non-admin operators to self-request broader scopes during backend reconnect. Attackers can bypass pairing requirements to reconnect as operator.admin, gaining unauthorized administrative privileges.

A weakness has been identified in OpenClaw up to 2026.1.26. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file src/agents/tools/web-fetch.ts of the component assertPublicHostname Handler. Executing a manipulation can lead to server-side request forgery. The attack can be executed remotely. This attack is characterized by high complexity. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. Upgrading to version 2026.1.29 can resolve this issue. This patch is called b623557a2ec7e271bda003eb3ac33fbb2e218505. Upgrading the affected component is advised.
