OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains an exec allowlist bypass vulnerability where allow-always persistence fails to unwrap /usr/bin/script and similar wrappers before storing trust decisions. Attackers can obtain user approval for one wrapped command to persist trust for wrapper binaries that execute different underlying programs.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.8 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the gateway plugin HTTP authentication mechanism that widens identity-bearing operator.read requests into runtime operator.write permissions. Attackers can exploit this by sending read-scoped requests through the gateway auth route to gain unauthorized write access to runtime operations.

Use after free in WebMIDI in Google Chrome prior to 147.0.7727.138 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

OpenClaw before 2026.4.2 fails to normalize trailing-dot localhost hosts in remote CDP discovery responses, allowing bypass of loopback protections. Attackers can craft hostile discovery responses returning localhost. to retarget authenticated browser control toward localhost endpoints and expose browser state.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in chat.send that allows write-scoped gateway callers to trigger admin-only session reset operations. Attackers can rotate target sessions, archive prior transcript state, and force new session IDs without requiring admin scope by exploiting improper authorization checks in the chat.send path.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a path traversal vulnerability in ACP dispatch that allows attackers to read arbitrary files by manipulating inbound channel attachment paths. Remote attackers can bypass attachment-cache and root directory checks to access files outside intended directories.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a sender allowlist bypass vulnerability in MS Teams thread history fetched via Graph API. Attackers can retrieve thread messages that should be filtered by sender allowlists, bypassing message filtering restrictions.

A vulnerability was found in vllm up to 0.19.0. The affected element is the function has_mamba_layers of the file vllm/v1/kv_cache_interface.py of the component KV Block Handler. Performing a manipulation results in uninitialized resource. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The attack is considered to have high complexity. The exploitability is described as difficult. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The patch is named 1ad67864c0c20f167929e64c875f5c28e1aad9fd. To fix this issue, it is recommended to deploy a patch.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a local roots self-whitelisting vulnerability in appendLocalMediaParentRoots that allows model-initiated arbitrary host file read. Attackers can exploit improper media parent directory validation to exfiltrate credentials and access sensitive files.

OpenClaw versions 2026.2.6 through 2026.3.24 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the Feishu extension resolveUploadInput function that bypasses file-system sandbox restrictions. Attackers can exploit improper path resolution during upload_image operations to read arbitrary files outside configured localRoots boundaries.
