SCA: security update for openclaw (GHSA-6j27-pc5c-m8w8)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438185

Description

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

 - OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in allow-always wrapper
 persistence that allows attackers to bypass approval checks by persisting wrapper-level allowlist entries
 instead of validating inner executable intent. Remote attackers can approve benign wrapped system.run
 commands and subsequently execute different payloads without approval, enabling remote code execution on
 gateway and node-host execution flows. (CVE-2026-29607)

Solution

Update the openclaw library and its related packages to version 2026.2.22 or later.
