Untrusted Search Path

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Untrusted Search Path via the system.run execution. An attacker can execute an unintended or malicious executable by altering the PATH resolution after approval, causing a different binar...

OpenClaw: system.run approvals did not bind PATH-token executable identity, enabling post-approval executable rebind

Summary For host=node runs, approvals validated command context but did not pin executable identity for non-path-like argv0 tokens for example tr. If PATH resolution changed after approval, execution could run a different binary. Impact A previously approved action could execute a different...

GHSA-7XMQ-G46G-F8PV OpenClaw: Sandbox media TOCTOU could read files outside sandbox root

Summary Sandbox media handling had a time-of-check/time-of-use gap: media paths could be validated first and read later through a separate path. A symlink retarget between those steps could cause reads outside sandboxRoot. Impact Affected versions could permit host file reads outside the intended...
