OpenClaw Windows Node before 2026.7.1-3 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in NodeService capture handlers that allows connected gateways or agents to perform screen snapshots, camera snaps, and location captures without consent prompts. Attackers can invoke screen.snapshot, camera.snap, and location.get over the node WebSocket to silently capture screenshots, photograph users through webcams, and obtain device geolocation without user interaction.

OpenClaw Windows Node before 2026.7.1 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability in the system.run exec-approval policy where ExecShellWrapperParser fails to split commands on pipe operators or extract command substitutions. Connected gateways or agents can bypass approval rules by placing denied commands behind allowed prefixes using pipe operators or command substitution syntax, achieving arbitrary command execution on Windows hosts.

OpenClaw Windows Node before 2026.7.1 contains an allocation of resources without limits vulnerability in the gateway WebSocket transport that allows connected gateways to exhaust node memory. Attackers can send an unending sequence of WebSocket continuation frames without EndOfMessage to cause unbounded memory growth until the node process crashes.

OpenClaw Windows Node before 2026.7.1 contains an incomplete validation vulnerability in system.execApprovals.set that accepts wildcard-executable rules and abusable system binaries like mshta, rundll32, and certutil. Remote callers can add broad allow rules to execute arbitrary commands on the Windows host through system.run without operator checks or user prompts.

OpenClaw Windows Node through 2026.9.4 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the canvas.present capability that bypasses URL risk evaluation enforced by canvas.navigate. Attackers with gateway or agent access can issue canvas.present to make the node's WebView send requests to localhost, private networks, or tailnet services from the user's machine.

OpenClaw Windows Node before 2026.7.1 contains an incomplete environment-variable sanitizer in system.run that fails to block GIT CONFIG *, DOTNET STARTUP HOOKS, and JAVA TOOL OPTIONS variables. Attackers with gateway or agent access can supply these variables to allowlisted tools like git, dotnet, or java to load attacker-controlled code and achieve arbitrary code execution.

ZeroClaw versions before 0.8.5 built with plugins-wasm feature contain a path traversal vulnerability in plugin installation that fails to validate the wasm path manifest field. Attackers can convince users to install crafted plugins that write arbitrary files to paths outside the plugins directory, such as shell startup files, enabling code execution.
