A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in OpenClaw up to 2026.3.6. This vulnerability affects some unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a authorization vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-863.

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.
