Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-53836 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- openclaw (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 2026.5.12\n- openclaw (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 2026.5.12\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-2026-53836/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53836/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-53836","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53836/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-53836","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j472-gf56-x589","MINI-c45r-h973-6rp5","MINI-wxwc-j2r5-857g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenClaw server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can bypass PowerShell execution allowlists using encoded-command aliases to run arbitrary code in OpenClaw.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[{"product":"openclaw","vendor":"openclaw"}],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-184","name":"Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs"}],"description":"OpenClaw before 2026.5.12 contains an allowlist bypass vulnerability in PowerShell encoded-command handling that allows attackers to execute encoded commands using abbreviated flag aliases not recognized by the allowlist parser.
