GHSA-4GC7-QCVF-38WG 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...

Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs via the --compress-program flag in the sort process when sort is manually added to the tools.exec.safeBins configuration. An attacker can execute...

GHSA-25PW-4H6W-QWVM OpenClaw has a BlueBubbles group allowlist mismatch via DM pairing-store fallback

Summary In [email protected], BlueBubbles group authorization could incorrectly treat DM pairing-store identities as group allowlist identities when dmPolicy=pairing and groupPolicy=allowlist. A sender that was only DM-paired not explicitly present in groupAllowFrom could pass group sender check...

GHSA-GCJ7-R3HG-M7W6 OpenClaw's voice-call Twilio replay dedupe now bound to authenticated webhook identity

Summary The voice-call Twilio webhook path accepted replay/dedupe identity from unsigned request metadata i-twilio-idempotency-token, enabling replayed signed requests to bypass replay detection and manager dedupe by mutating only that header. Affected Packages / Versions - Package: openclaw npm ...

Replay Attack

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Replay Attack via the voice-call webhook process.

Execution with Unnecessary Privileges

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Execution with Unnecessary Privileges due to the absence of a USER directive in the Dockerfiles, causing all processes to run as root. An attacker can gain root privileges within the...

GHSA-W7J5-J98M-W679 OpenClaw has multiple E2E/test Dockerfiles that run all processes as root

Three Dockerfiles in scripts/docker/ and scripts/e2e/ lack a USER directive, meaning all processes run as uid 0 root. If any process is compromised, the attacker has root inside the container, making container breakout significantly easier. Partial fix 2026-02-08: Commit 28e1a65e added USER sandb...

OpenClaw has exec allowlist/safeBins policy-runtime mismatch via env -S wrapper interpretation

Summary tools.exec allowlist/safe-bins evaluation could diverge from runtime execution for wrapper commands using GNU env -S/--split-string semantics. This allowed policy checks to treat a command as a benign safe-bin invocation while runtime executed a different payload. Affected Packages /...
