CVE-2026-53848 Details
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.5.26 contains an exec allowlist bypass vulnerability allowing authenticated operators to execute wrapper-level side effects outside allowlisted command intent. Attackers can craft command requests that bypass allowlist validation by leveraging transparent command wrappers to perform unintended operations.
A vulnerability allowing exec allowlist bypass has been identified in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.5.26. This issue enables authenticated operators to execute unintended wrapper-level side effects by bypassing allowlist validation. Attackers can craft command requests that exploit transparent command wrappers to perform operations outside the intended scope of allowlisted commands.
Users are advised to review wrapper commands carefully and require approval for shell-like wrapper usage until the vulnerability is patched. As a general hardening measure, keep channel and tool allowlists narrow, avoid sharing one Gateway between mutually untrusted users, and disable the affected feature when it is not needed.
