Medium (5.3) in openclaw openclaw. EPSS 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in openclaw 2026.2.23.
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.23 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the ACP client that auto-approves tool calls based on untrusted toolCall.kind metadata and permissive name heuristics. Attackers can bypass interactive approval prompts for read-class operations by spoofing tool metadata or using non-core read-like names to reach auto-approve paths.
