CVSS 7.3 · HIGH

CVE-2026-41380

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains an execution approval vulnerability in exec-approvals-allowlist.ts that allows allow-always persistence to trust wrapper carrier executables instead of invoked targets. Attackers can exploit positional carrier executable routing through dispatch wrappers to establish broader allowlist entries than intended, weakening execution approval boundaries.

Analysis

OpenClaw is a niche tool, likely a specialized execution manager or game engine reimplementation, with minimal footprint in the standard MexicoDev web/backend stack. While the execution approval bypass is a high-severity logic flaw, the product's limited deployment scale does not warrant a broad community 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.
