4Description
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.26 contain an approval bypass vulnerability in system.run execution that allows attackers to execute commands from unintended filesystem locations by rebinding writable parent symlinks in the current working directory after approval. An attacker can modify mutable parent symlink path components between approval and execution time to redirect command execution to a different location while preserving the visible working directory string.
Analysis
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.26 contain a Time-of-Check-Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) approval bypass vulnerability in the system.run execution function that allows local attackers with low privileges to execute arbitrary commands from unintended filesystem locations. An attacker can exploit a race condition by modifying parent symlinks in the current working directory after command approval but before execution, redirecting execution while maintaining the appearance of a safe working directory. …
