OpenClaw versions before 2026.5.18 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in skill command dispatch that allows lower-trust callers to execute or persist actions beyond their intended authorization. Attackers can bypass tool policy restrictions through configured input paths to perform unauthorized actions when the affected feature is enabled and reachable.
