Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-44997 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- openclaw (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 2026.4.22\n- openclaw (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 2026.4.22\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-44997/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-44997/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-44997","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-44997/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-44997","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q3jj-46pq-826r","MINI-38vx-4wfc-vq75","MINI-5wpm-p8p7-9w92"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenClaw agent framework","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass security constraints in OpenClaw to spawn unrestricted child sessions, leading to privilege escalation and access to restricted resources.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[{"product":"openclaw","vendor":"openclaw"}],"cvss":{"score":2.3,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-266","name":"Incorrect Privilege Assignment"}],"description":"OpenClaw before 2026.4.22 contains a security envelope constraint bypass vulnerability allowing restricted subagents to spawn ACP child sessions that fail to inherit depth, child-count limits, control scope, or target-agent restrictions.
