CVE-2026-43530 Details
Description
OpenClaw versions 2026.2.23 before 2026.4.12 contain a weakened exec approval binding vulnerability in busybox and toybox applet execution that allows attackers to obscure which applet would actually run. Attackers can exploit opaque multi-call binaries to bypass exec approval mechanisms and weaken risk classification of unsafe applet invocations.
A vulnerability exists in OpenClaw versions 2026.2.23 prior to 2026.4.12, where the execution approval binding is weakened for applets in Busybox and Toybox. This flaw allows attackers to obscure which applet would actually be executed, creating a risk that unsafe applet invocations could be misclassified as safe. The vulnerability takes advantage of opaque multi-call binaries to bypass execution approval mechanisms.
Users should upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.4.12 or later. The latest version, 2026.4.14, includes the necessary fix.
