CVE-2026-28473

CVE-2026-28473 · OpenClaw < 2026.2.2 - Authorization Bypass via /approve Chat Command

This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.2 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability where clients with operator.write scope can approve or deny exec approval requests by sending the /approve chat command. The /approve command path invokes exec.approval.resolve through an internal privileged gateway client, bypassing the operator.approvals permission check that protects direct RPC calls.
