OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a fail-open vulnerability in the plugin installation flow where security scan failures do not block installation. Attackers can exploit scan failures to install untrusted plugins when operators proceed despite visible scan warnings.
CVE-2026-41377
This medium-severity CVE scores 4.6 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.2%, top 86% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
