OpenClaw Multiple Vulnerabilities Allow Code Execution CVSS 8.8
Summary
CERT-Bund has published security advisory WID-SEC-2026-1280 disclosing multiple vulnerabilities in OpenClaw, a personal AI assistant for self-hosted deployment. The vulnerabilities carry a CVSS Base Score of 8.8 (high) and a CVSS Temporal Score of 7.7 (high), and remote attack is confirmed. Affected versions are Open Source OpenClaw prior to version 2026.4.23 and prior to version 2026.4.24, running on UNIX and other operating systems. Mitigation measures are available.
“Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in OpenClaw ausnutzen, um beliebigen Code auszuführen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen oder Daten zu manipulieren.”
Organizations running self-hosted AI assistants such as OpenClaw should treat this as an urgent patching priority given the CVSS 8.8 base score and confirmed remote attack vector. Security teams should inventory any OpenClaw deployments across their environment, confirm installed versions, and apply available patches. The code execution and security-bypass capabilities mean these vulnerabilities could enable full system compromise if left unaddressed.
About this source
CERT-Bund is the German federal cybersecurity agency's incident response team, run by the BSI. Their advisory feed publishes vulnerability disclosures and active exploitation warnings for software in widespread enterprise use: VPN appliances, email servers, file transfer products, ERP systems, browsers, hypervisors. Around 280 advisories a month, each with a CVSS score, affected versions, and remediation guidance. The advisories are written in German but cover the same vulnerabilities that show up in CISA, NCSC-UK, and JPCERT bulletins, often hours earlier. Watch this if you patch enterprise software, run a SOC, or write detection rules. GovPing publishes each advisory with the affected vendor, CVSS score, and original CERT-Bund link.
What changed
CERT-Bund has disclosed multiple security vulnerabilities in OpenClaw, an open-source personal AI assistant. The vulnerabilities have a CVSS Base Score of 8.8 (high), indicating severe risk. A remote attacker can exploit these flaws to execute arbitrary code, bypass security controls, or manipulate data. Affected parties running OpenClaw on UNIX or other platforms should apply available mitigations immediately and update to version 2026.4.24 or later. Organizations deploying self-hosted AI assistants should treat this as a priority security patch event.
Organizations operating OpenClaw in any enterprise or personal environment should treat this as an urgent patch event. The confirmed remote attack vector means exposure is not limited to local access scenarios. Since mitigation is marked as available, administrators should check the project repository for patched versions (2026.4.23 and 2026.4.24) and apply updates without delay.
