CVE-2026-53845: OpenClaw: Skill-command dispatch could skip before-tool-call hooks

June 18, 2026

Skill-command dispatch could skip before-tool-call hooks. In affected versions, a skill command routed through the affected dispatch path could run without the same runBeforeToolCallHook coverage as other tool entry points.

This advisory is scoped to the named feature and configuration. It does not change OpenClaw’s trusted-operator model: authenticated Gateway operators, installed plugins, and intentional local execution surfaces remain trusted unless a separate policy, approval, allowlist, sandbox, or auth boundary is crossed.
