CVE-2026-33573 Details
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.11 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the gateway agent RPC that allows authenticated operators with operator.write permission to override workspace boundaries by supplying attacker-controlled spawnedBy and workspaceDir values. Remote operators can escape the configured workspace boundary and execute arbitrary file and exec operations from any process-accessible directory.
An authorization bypass vulnerability has been identified in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.11. This vulnerability exists in the gateway agent RPC, where authenticated operators with operator.write permission can override workspace boundaries. By supplying attacker-controlled spawnedBy and workspaceDir values, these operators can escape the configured workspace boundary and execute arbitrary file and exec operations from any process-accessible directory.
Users can upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.3.11 or later to address this vulnerability. The patched version enforces workspace boundaries for agent runs, regardless of any overrides supplied by the caller.
