OpenClaw safeBins grep -e File Read Bypass (stdin-only policy bypass)

Summary OpenClaw tools.exec.safeBins had a stdin-only policy bypass for grep. If pattern input was supplied through -e / --regexp, the validator consumed the pattern as a flag value and still allowed one positional operand. That positional could be a bare filename like .env. Affected Packages /...

User Impersonation

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to User Impersonation during authentication. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to HTTP gateway routes by exploiting the improper application of tokenless Tailscale authentication...

GHSA-HFF7-CCV5-52F8 OpenClaw's gateway tokenless Tailscale auth applied to HTTP routes

Summary When tokenless Tailscale auth is enabled, OpenClaw should only allow forwarded-header auth for Control UI websocket authentication on trusted hosts. In affected versions, that tokenless path could also be used by HTTP gateway auth call sites, which could bypass token/password requirements...

OpenClaw vulnerable to path traversal in Feishu media temp-file naming allows writes outside os.tmpdir()

Summary OpenClaw’s Feishu media download flow used untrusted Feishu media keys imageKey / fileKey when building temporary file paths in extensions/feishu/src/media.ts. Because those keys were interpolated directly into temp-file paths, traversal segments could escape the temp directory and redire...
