Last modified

CVE-2026-32065 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.7/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.25 contain an approval-integrity bypass vulnerability in system.run where rendered command text is used as approval identity while trimming argv token whitespace, but runtime execution uses raw argv. An attacker can craft a trailing-space executable token to execute a different binary than what the approver displayed, allowing unexpected command execution under the OpenClaw runtime user when they can influence command argv and reuse an approval context.. EPSS estimates a 0.29% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
