OpenClaw: Shell init-file options could satisfy exec allowlist script matching

Summary Before OpenClaw 2026.3.31, exec allowlist matching could treat shell init-file wrapper invocations as if the approved script itself were being executed. Shell options such as --rcfile, --init-file, and --startup-file could therefore inherit allowlist trust from a matched script path even...

CVE-2026-32059

OpenClaw version 2026.2.22-2 prior to 2026.2.23 tools.exec.safeBins validation for sort command fails to properly validate GNU long-option abbreviations, allowing attackers to bypass denied-flag checks via abbreviated options. Remote attackers can execute sort commands with abbreviated long optio...

PT-2026-27234

OpenClaw before 2026.2.22 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in allowlist mode where allow-always persistence at wrapper-level enables approval-bypass execution of different payloads. Attackers can approve benign wrapped system.run commands to broaden trust boundaries and execute...

EUVD-2026-13294

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.24 contain an approval gating bypass vulnerability in system.run allowlist mode where nested transparent dispatch wrappers can suppress shell-wrapper detection. Attackers can exploit this by chaining multiple dispatch wrappers like /usr/bin/env to execute /bin/sh...

CVE-2026-22175

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.23 contain an exec approval bypass vulnerability in allowlist mode where allow-always grants could be circumvented through unrecognized multiplexer shell wrappers like busybox and toybox sh -c commands. Attackers can exploit this by invoking arbitrary payloads...

CVE-2026-22175 OpenClaw < 2026.2.23 - Exec Approval Bypass via Unrecognized Multiplexer Shell Wrappers

Incorrect Authorization

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in the system.run process when handling dispatch wrappers with exactly four transparent wrappers such as repeated env invocations before /bin/sh -c. An attacker ca...

OpenClaw's system.run allowlist approval parsing missed PowerShell encoded-command wrappers

OpenClaw's system.run shell-wrapper detection did not recognize PowerShell -EncodedCommand forms as inline-command wrappers. In allowlist mode, a caller with access to system.run could invoke pwsh or powershell using -EncodedCommand, -enc, or -e, and the request would fall back to plain argv...

CVE-2026-28463

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.14 contain an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the exec-approvals allowlist validation that checks pre-expansion argv tokens but executes using real shell expansion. Attackers with authorization or through prompt-injection attacks can exploit safe binaries li...

GHSA-8MF7-VV8W-HJR2 OpenClaw's tools.exec.safeBins generic fallback allowed interpreter-style inline payload execution in allowlist mode

Summary When tools.exec.safeBins contained a binary without an explicit safe-bin profile, OpenClaw used a permissive generic fallback profile. In allowlist mode, that could let interpreter-style binaries for example python3, node, ruby execute inline payloads via flags like -c. This requires...

In OpenClaw, manually adding sort to tools.exec.safeBins could bypass allowlist approval via --compress-program

Summary This issue applies to a non-default configuration only. If sort is manually added to tools.exec.safeBins, OpenClaw could treat sort --compress-program= as valid safe-bin usage. In security=allowlist + ask=on-miss, this could satisfy allowlist checks and skip operator approval, while GNU...

OpenClaw's tools.exec.safeBins trusted PATH directories allowed binary shadowing in allowlist mode

Summary In openclaw allowlist mode, tools.exec.safeBins trusted PATH-derived directories for safe-bin resolution. A same-name binary placed in a trusted PATH directory could satisfy safe-bin checks and execute. Impact This is an allowlist bypass in exec policy that can lead to command execution i...
