Three Patched OpenClaw AI Assistant Flaws Enable Host Takeover via WhatsApp

Engineer — Plan: If OpenClaw is deployed in your environment, verify you are running a patched version addressing all three CVEs (GHSA-hjr6-g723-hmfm and siblings); no public PoC or KEV listing present, so patch within normal cycle but prioritize given CVSS 8.8 and the RCE/privilege-escalation chain.
SOC/IR — Learn: No published IOCs or active exploitation reported; the attack chain description (WhatsApp input → credential theft → privilege escalation → host RCE) is worth understanding to recognize behavioral indicators if OpenClaw is in scope, but no detection work is actionable today.
