## Overview

## Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-5cj2-3jr2-5h77. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

## Original Description
OpenClaw before 2026.4.2 contains an inline-eval bypass vulnerability allowing authenticated operators to weaken strict allowlist checks via shell positional parameters. Attackers can combine allowlisted tools with shell positional arguments to place inline-eval content in shell carriers outside intended allowlist rules, enabling execution of unapproved shell-provided content.

## Affected packages

- `openclaw < 2026.4.2`

## Remediation

Refer to the advisory for the patched release.
