CVSS 8.8 · HIGH

CVE-2026-41352

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a remote code execution vulnerability where a device-paired node can bypass the node scope gate authentication mechanism. Attackers with device pairing credentials can execute arbitrary node commands on the host system without proper node pairing validation.

Analysis

OpenClaw is a niche project not widely recognized as part of the standard web or mobile development stack. While the vulnerability allows remote code execution through an authentication bypass, the limited adoption of the software among the community does not justify an alert.

How to read this card

Actively exploited

KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities) is CISA's catalog of CVEs confirmed as actively exploited in the real world. If a CVE is on KEV, someone is already using it in attacks.

CVSS 10.0

CVSS 10.0 — máxima severidad teórica. Explotable de forma remota, sin privilegios, con impacto total. Aún no confirmada como explotada en el mundo real, pero parchea ya.
