Last modified
CVE-2026-43530 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.7/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenClaw versions 2026.2.23 before 2026.4.12 contain a weakened exec approval binding vulnerability in busybox and toybox applet execution that allows attackers to obscure which applet would actually run. Attackers can exploit opaque multi-call binaries to bypass exec approval mechanisms and weaken risk classification of unsafe applet invocations.. EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
