CVSS 7.3 · HIGH

CVE-2026-41390

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains an exec allowlist bypass vulnerability where allow-always persistence fails to unwrap /usr/bin/script and similar wrappers before storing trust decisions. Attackers can obtain user approval for one wrapped command to persist trust for wrapper binaries that execute different underlying programs.

Analysis

OpenClaw is an open-source game engine project with very limited relevance to the professional web, mobile, and backend developer community. While the exec allowlist bypass is a legitimate security issue for its users, it does not impact the common open-source stack or infrastructure tools used by this community.

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.
