CVE-2026-53845

OpenClaw before 2026.5.6 contains a hook bypass vulnerability where skill commands routed through the affected dispatch path skip before-tool-call hook coverage. Attackers can exploit this by sending skill commands through the vulnerable dispatch path to bypass hook-based auditing and policy enforcement mechanisms.
