CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedOpenClaw versions prior to 2026.8.1 are vulnerable due to a failure to bind the working directory context to reusable execution approvals, which allows attackers with persistent approvals to execute commands in unintended directories. This could lead to unauthorized access or manipulation of files and repositories, potentially resulting in significant data breaches or system compromises. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize this vulnerability to mitigate the risk of exploitation.

Original NVD Description
OpenClaw versions before 2026.8.1 fail to bind working directory context to reusable exec approvals, allowing approved commands to execute in different directories. Attackers with an allow-always approval can reuse it to run the same command against unreviewed files or repositories with materially different effects.
