High (7.7) in openclaw openclaw. EPSS 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in openclaw 2026.4.8.
OpenClaw before 2026.4.8 contains an approval-timeout fallback mechanism that bypasses strictInlineEval explicit-approval requirements on gateway and node exec hosts. Attackers can exploit this timeout fallback to execute inline eval commands that should require explicit user approval, circumventing the intended security boundary.
