CVE-2026-32043 Details
Description
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.25 contain a time-of-check-time-of-use vulnerability in approval-bound system.run execution where the cwd parameter is validated at approval time but resolved at execution time. Attackers can retarget a symlinked cwd between approval and execution to bypass command execution restrictions and execute arbitrary commands on node hosts.
A time-of-check-time-of-use vulnerability has been identified in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.25. This vulnerability affects the approval-bound system.run execution on node hosts. The issue arises because the cwd (current working directory) parameter is validated at the time of approval but resolved at execution time. Attackers can exploit this by retargeting a symlinked cwd between the approval and execution stages, bypassing command execution restrictions and allowing the execution of arbitrary commands on node hosts.
Users can update to OpenClaw version 2026.2.25 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
