OpenClaw before 2026.5.2 contains an environment variable injection vulnerability allowing workspace .env files to influence Python runtime selection through CLOUDSDK_PYTHON during Gmail setup gcloud execution. Attackers with repository access can manipulate the CLOUDSDK_PYTHON variable to execute setup through unintended local Python paths, potentially enabling arbitrary code execution.

Passing of unsanitized strings from DHCP replies into the wicked dhcp client before wicked 0.6.79 could be used by attackers operating a malicious DHCP server to execute code on the local machine.

OpenClaw before 2026.5.12 contains a bootstrap token replay vulnerability allowing callers with pending token access to reuse tokens with broader requested scopes. Attackers can replay bootstrap tokens before approval to escalate pairing authority beyond intended scope limits.

OpenClaw before 2026.5.7 contains a sender policy bypass vulnerability in BlueBubbles that allows participants to match allowlist entries through conversation metadata rather than stable sender identity. Attackers can influence conversation-level identifiers to receive agent responses intended for configured senders, potentially bypassing access controls.

OpenClaw before 2026.5.12 contains an allowlist bypass vulnerability in shell inline-command parsing that allows authenticated operators to execute unapproved commands. A command request using shell inline-command forms could route through a parser case missing the expected allowlist decision, enabling shell content execution without intended approval prompts.

A flaw was found in libXpm. A local user with low privileges could exploit an Out-of-Bounds Read vulnerability in the `xpmNextWord()` function by processing a specially crafted or very small XPM (X PixMap) image file. This improper validation of file boundaries can cause an internal pointer to read beyond the file's end, leading to application crashes and Denial of Service conditions.

OpenClaw before 2026.5.26 contains a hostname validation vulnerability allowing attackers to bypass blocklist comparisons using trailing-dot notation in model or workspace-derived URLs. Attackers can exploit inconsistent hostname checks to reach destinations that operators intended to block through hostname policies.

On Xtensa targets with CONFIG_USERSPACE and CONFIG_XTENSA_MMU, the page-table code (arch/xtensa/core/ptables.c) maintains a global list, xtensa_domain_list, of active memory domains using a list node embedded inside the caller-owned struct k_mem_domain. When a domain is destroyed via k_mem_domain_deinit() - arch_mem_domain_deinit(), the page tables are torn down and domain-arch.ptables is set to NULL, but the domain's node was not removed from xtensa_domain_list. The freed/deinitialized domain therefore remained linked into the global list as a dangling pointer into caller-owned storage that may then be freed or reused. Any subsequent arch_mem_map()/arch_mem_unmap() operation (widely invoked by kernel memory-mapping and demand-paging code) traverses the stale node and dereferences domain-ptables: at minimum a NULL pointer dereference causing a fatal MMU exception (denial of service), and if the k_mem_domain storage has been freed or reused, a use-after-free in which a stale/controlled ptables value is dereferenced and written through during the page-table walk (l2_page_table_map writes l1_table[...] and l2_table[...], and xtensa_mmu_compute_domain_regs writes into the domain struct and the L1 table), yielding page-table memory corruption that can undermine userspace isolation. The vulnerable path is reachable only from privileged kernel/supervisor code (k_mem_domain_deinit is not a syscall), not directly from unprivileged user threads or remotely. Affected: Zephyr v4.4.0 (the Xtensa memory-domain de-initialization feature was introduced in commit 3032b58f52d and first shipped in v4.4.0); fixed on main by adding sys_slist_find_and_remove() in arch_mem_domain_deinit(). The Xtensa MPU path is unaffected.

OpenClaw before 2026.5.2 contains a path traversal vulnerability in maintenance task execution that allows workspace-derived service paths to influence trash command selection. Attackers can execute unintended local executables from operator-unintended paths during maintenance operations by manipulating workspace-derived environment paths.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.29 contains a session visibility check bypass vulnerability in shared memory search that allows authenticated callers to access memory entries without proper authorization. Attackers can skip session visibility guards on the search path to retrieve memory entries that should not be visible to their session.
