OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.24 contain an approval gating bypass vulnerability in system.run allowlist mode where nested transparent dispatch wrappers can suppress shell-wrapper detection. Attackers can exploit this by chaining multiple dispatch wrappers like /usr/bin/env to execute /bin/sh -c commands without triggering the expected approval prompt in allowlist plus ask=on-miss configurations.
