{"id":"CVE-2026-100584","published":"2026-09-26T03:17:06.373","lastModified":"2026-09-28T15:18:41.260","description":"OpenClaw is an npm-distributed agent runtime. In versions >= 2026.2.26 and < 2026.7.1, PowerShell command analysis on Windows hosts running in exec allowlist mode could approve an exact executable resolved from PATH but subsequently execute a same-named executable located in the workspace directory. If lower-trust content can place an executable with an approved basename into an agent-writable workspace and steer an approved PowerShell command that uses a bare executable name, OpenClaw may run the workspace file instead of the allowlisted path, executing arbitrary code with the privileges of the Gateway or node-host user. The issue does not require replacement of the approved executable itself. Version 2026.7.1 contains a fix; as a workaround, avoid bare executable names in approved PowerShell commands and keep executable files out of agent-writable workspaces.","cvssScore":6.7,"cvssSeverity":"MEDIUM","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","cwes":["CWE-426"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-rgjw-6v73-php6","tags":[]},{"url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-before-2026.7.1-allowlist-bypass-via-workspace-shadows","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[{"url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-rgjw-6v73-php6","tags":[]}],"hasPoc":true,"ai":null}
