CVE-2026-32065: OpenClaw < 2026.2.25 - Approval Identity Mismatch in system.run Command Execution

• Severity: medium (CVSS 6.5 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.3% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2026-03-21 · updated 2026-06-17
• Weakness: CWE-436

Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.25 contain an approval-integrity bypass vulnerability in system.run where rendered command text is used as approval identity while trimming argv token whitespace, but runtime execution uses raw argv. An attacker can craft a trailing-space executable token to execute a different binary than what the approver displayed, allowing unexpected command execution under the OpenClaw runtime user when they can influence command argv and reuse an approval context.

Affected products

• OpenClaw: before 2026.2.25 — fixed in 2026.2.25

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: OpenClaw 2026.2.25. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
