CVE-2026-28456: OpenClaw affected by potential code execution via unsafe hook module path handling in Gateway
(updated )
OpenClaw Gateway supports hook mappings with optional JavaScript/TypeScript transform modules. In affected versions, the gateway did not sufficiently constrain configured module paths before passing them to dynamic import(). Under some configurations, a user who can modify gateway configuration could cause the gateway process to load and execute an unintended local module.
