Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.25

Description The software contains a time-of-check-time-of-use issue in approval-bound system.run execution. The cwd parameter is validated during approval but resolved during execution. This allows attackers to redirect a symbolic link for the cwd parameter between the approval and execution stages, bypassing command execution restrictions and potentially executing arbitrary commands on host systems.

Recommendations Update OpenClaw to version 2026.2.25 or later.
