CVE-2026-41380
OpenClaw < 2026.3.28 - Arbitrary Execution Allowlist via Wrapper Carrier Executables
Description

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.
