CVE-2026-27486: OpenClaw: Process Safety - Unvalidated PID Kill via SIGKILL in Process Cleanup
(updated )
OpenClaw CLI process cleanup used system-wide process enumeration and pattern matching to terminate processes without verifying they were owned by the current OpenClaw process. On shared hosts, unrelated processes could be terminated if they matched the pattern.
