CVE-2026-32979 Details
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.11 contains an approval integrity vulnerability allowing attackers to execute rewritten local code by modifying scripts between approval and execution when exact file binding cannot occur. Remote attackers can change approved local scripts before execution to achieve unintended code execution as the OpenClaw runtime user.
A vulnerability in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.11 allows for approval integrity bypass in the node-host 'system.run' approval mode. This vulnerability enables attackers to execute modified local scripts by changing them between the approval and execution stages, particularly when an exact file binding cannot be established. As a result, unintended code execution occurs under the OpenClaw runtime user.
Users are advised to upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.3.11 or later.
