OpenClaw: 3 vulnerabilities from WhatsApp to host takeover

OpenClaw: 3 vulnerabilities from WhatsApp to host takeover

Colleagues, a cybersecurity issue to note.

Researchers found three patched OpenClaw flaws that could enable credential theft, privilege escalation, and host code execution.

The chain could even be triggered by a WhatsApp message.

Path-check bypasses and command injection may expose secrets and enable sandbox escape.

What to do:
- upgrade to OpenClaw 2026.6.6
- enable sandboxing for non-primary sessions
- remove exec from the allowlist
- monitor git clone with ext::

Why it matters: in AI assistants, such flaws can turn a trusted channel into a compromise point.
