{"schema":"threatline.record/2","record":{"id":"CVE-2026-100561","aliases":["GHSA-ghpx-6xwq-2w4w"],"summary":"OpenClaw before 2026.8.1 Authentication Bypass via Exec Wrapper","details":"OpenClaw (npm package 'openclaw') versions >= 2026.3.22 and < 2026.8.1 contain an approval-bypass flaw in the exec approval policy: the policy could trust a command-running wrapper without inspecting the command carried in its arguments. After an operator allowlisted or permanently approved a benign wrapper invocation, a later agent turn could substitute an arbitrary inner command and execute it with the OpenClaw process's host privileges without a further approval prompt. Exploitation requires the relevant wrapper to resolve on the host and a prior operator decision allowing that wrapper. Transparent shell carriers and opaque utilities such as process monitors, tracers, namespace tools, and proxy wrappers were affected through related trust-resolution gaps. Fixed in 2026.8.1.","categories":["Unclassified"],"product":"OpenClaw","vendor":"OpenClaw","ecosystem":null,"affected_ranges":[{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-100561","source_modified_at":"2026-09-29T17:08:16.130Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:52:38.922436Z","product":"OpenClaw","vendor":"OpenClaw","versions":[{"version":"2026.3.22","status":"affected","versionType":"semver","lessThan":"2026.8.1"},{"version":"2026.8.1","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"}],"defaultStatus":"unaffected"}],"fixed_versions":[{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-100561","source_modified_at":"2026-09-29T17:08:16.130Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:52:38.922436Z","package":{"name":"OpenClaw","ecosystem":null},"version":"2026.8.1","basis":"first unaffected version stated in the CVE record"}],"cvss":8.6,"severity":"High","kev":{"listed":false},"epss":{"probability":0.00248,"percentile":0.15219,"score_date":"2026-10-23"},"published_at":"2026-09-26T02:18:53.923Z","modified_at":"2026-09-29T17:08:16.130Z","provenance":[{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-100561","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:52:38.922436Z","source_modified_at":"2026-09-29T17:08:16.130Z"},{"source":"EPSS","url":"https://api.first.org/data/v1/epss?cve=CVE-2026-100561","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:42:43.628194Z","source_modified_at":"2026-10-23"}],"sources":["CVE List","EPSS"],"references":[{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-ghpx-6xwq-2w4w","tags":["vendor-advisory"]},{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-before-2026.8.1-authentication-bypass-via-exec-wrapper","tags":["third-party-advisory"]}],"locations":[],"motoko_assessment":{"status":"requires_architecture_review","automatic_remediation":false},"cve_state":"PUBLISHED","cvss_source":"CVE List","ssvc":{"exploitation":"none","automatable":"no","technical_impact":"total","assessed_at":"2026-09-29T17:07:35.222354Z"},"classification":{"method":"product-first software-layer rules","rules_version":"2.1","matched_on":null,"confidence":"unknown","reviewed":false},"change_timestamp":"2026-09-29T17:08:16.130Z","content_hash":"d29556c43952d18b34a3ca20e17cd8d05970870c2e37dec83eee284a1b3d1255"}}
