OpenClaw before 2026.3.11 contains an exec allowlist bypass vulnerability where matchesExecAllowlistPattern improperly normalizes patterns with lowercasing and glob matching that overmatches on POSIX paths. Attackers can exploit the ? wildcard matching across path segments to execute commands or paths not intended by operators.
