CVE-2026-41392 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.4/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains an exec allowlist bypass vulnerability allowing attackers to inherit allowlist trust via shell init-file wrapper invocations. Attackers can exploit shell options like --rcfile, --init-file, and --startup-file to load attacker-chosen initialization files while bypassing exec allowlist matching restrictions.. EPSS estimates a 0.12% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
