CVE-2026-100530
HIGH 8.5OpenClaw versions before 2026.8.1 fail to bind working directory context to reusable exec approvals, allowing approved commands to execute in different directories. Attackers with an allow-always approval can reuse it to run the same command against unreviewed files or repositories with materially different effects.
Severe if exploited (CVSS 8.5), but no known exploitation and low modeled probability. Patch on a normal cadence.
