CVE-2026-101882
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.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.67%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
