Description
OpenClaw versions 2026.6.1 before 2026.6.9 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability in isolated cron jobs that allows lower-trust callers to regain denied execution tools. Attackers can execute or persist actions beyond their intended authorization by leveraging misconfigured input paths in the affected cron feature.
