OpenClaw < 2026.3.28 - Arbitrary Execution Allowlist via Wrapper Carrier Executables

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 20.04.2026 Published: 28.04.2026 Updated: 28.04.2026

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains an execution approval vulnerability in exec-approvals-allowlist.ts that allows allow-always persistence to trust wrapper carrier executables instead of invoked targets. Attackers can exploit positional carrier executable routing through dispatch wrappers to establish broader allowlist entries than intended, weakening execution approval boundaries.
