Last modified

CVE-2026-28393 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenClaw versions 2.0.0-beta3 prior to 2026.2.14 contain a path traversal vulnerability in hook transform module loading that allows arbitrary JavaScript execution. The hooks.mappings[].transform.module parameter accepts absolute paths and traversal sequences, enabling attackers with configuration write access to load and execute malicious modules with gateway process privileges.. EPSS estimates a 0.44% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
