Last modified Jun 17, 2026

CVE-2026-41380 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains an execution approval vulnerability in exec-approvals-allowlist.ts that allows allow-always persistence to trust wrapper carrier executables instead of invoked targets. Attackers can exploit positional carrier executable routing through dispatch wrappers to establish broader allowlist entries than intended, weakening execution approval boundaries.. EPSS estimates a 0.12% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
