CVE-2026-22175

OpenClaw < 2026.2.23 - Exec Approval Bypass via Unrecognized Multiplexer Shell Wrappers

State: Published
Severity: 7.1 High
Published: Mar 18, 2026
Updated: Jun 23, 2026
Reserved: Jan 6, 2026

Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.23 contain an exec approval bypass vulnerability in allowlist mode where allow-always grants could be circumvented through unrecognized multiplexer shell wrappers like busybox and toybox sh -c commands. Attackers can exploit this by invoking arbitrary payloads under the same multiplexer wrapper to satisfy stored allowlist rules, bypassing intended execution restrictions.
