No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

OpenClaw before 2026.5.6 contains an approval policy bypass vulnerability in the Skill Workshop apply flow that allows agent tool calls to set apply: true despite approvalPolicy: pending configuration. Attackers can exploit this by reaching the affected apply path to apply workshop changes before the expected approval step, potentially modifying configurations without proper authorization.
