OpenClaw < 2026.3.7 - Shell Approval Gating Bypass via Dispatch Wrapper Depth Mismatch

Published Mar 23, 2026 · Updated Jul 14, 2026 · Assigned by VulnCheck

Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.7 contain a shell approval gating bypass vulnerability in system.run dispatch-wrapper handling that allows attackers to skip shell wrapper approval requirements. The approval classifier and execution planner apply different depth-boundary rules, permitting exactly four transparent dispatch wrappers like repeated env invocations before /bin/sh -c to bypass security=allowlist approval gating by misaligning classification with execution planning.
