This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-7jx5-9fjg-hp4m. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.23 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the ACP client that auto-approves tool calls based on untrusted toolCall.kind metadata and permissive name heuristics. Attackers can bypass interactive approval prompts for read-class operations by spoofing tool metadata or using non-core read-like names to reach auto-approve paths.
