 - OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.7 contain a shell approval gating bypass vulnerability in system.run
 dispatch-wrapper handling that allows attackers to skip shell wrapper approval requirements. The approval

 dispatch wrappers like repeated env invocations before /bin/sh -c to bypass security=allowlist approval
 gating by misaligning classification with execution planning. (CVE-2026-27183)
