Vulnerability Title
OpenClaw < 2026.2.2 - Authorization Bypass via /approve Chat Command
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
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.
