OpenClaw 2026.5.14-beta.1 before 2026.5.27 contain an authorization flaw in the QQBot exec approvals feature. When the feature is enabled and reachable, a lower-trust caller or configured input path could execute or persist actions beyond the caller's intended authorization, allowing non-allowlisted senders to perform unauthorized operations.
