SCA: security update for openclaw (GHSA-hwpq-rrpf-pgcq)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438066

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.25 contain an approval-integrity bypass vulnerability in system.run
where rendered command text is used as approval identity while trimming argv token whitespace, but runtime
execution uses raw argv. An attacker can craft a trailing-space executable token to execute a different
binary than what the approver displayed, allowing unexpected command execution under the OpenClaw runtime
user when they can influence command argv and reuse an approval context. (CVE-2026-32065)

Solution

Update the openclaw library and its related packages to version 2026.2.25 or later.
