Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Time-of-check Time-of-use TOCTOU Race Condition via system.run when a mutable symlink is used as the cwd target between approval and execution. An attacker can execute commands in an...

GHSA-MWCG-WFQ3-4GJC OpenClaw's system.run approval TOCTOU via mutable symlink cwd target on node host

Summary In [email protected], approval-bound system.run on node hosts could be influenced by mutable symlink cwd targets between approval and execution. Details Approval matching on the gateway validated command/argv and binding fields, including cwd, as provided text. Node execution later used...

OpenClaw's andbox browser noVNC observer lacked VNC authentication

The sandbox browser entrypoint launched x11vnc without authentication -nopw for noVNC observer sessions. OpenClaw-managed runtime flow publishes the noVNC port to host loopback only 127.0.0.1, so default exposure is local to the host unless operators explicitly expose the port more broadly or run...

GHSA-JV6R-27WW-4GW4 OpenClaw DM pairing-store identities could satisfy group allowlist authorization

Summary DM pairing-store identities were incorrectly eligible for group allowlist authorization checks, enabling cross-context authorization in group message paths. Details In affected versions, group allowlist evaluation could inherit identities from the DM pairing store. A sender approved via D...

GHSA-CCG8-46R6-9QGJ OpenClaw's dispatch-wrapper depth-cap mismatch can bypass shell-wrapper approval gating in system.run allowlist mode

Summary A wrapper-depth parsing mismatch in system.run allowed nested transparent dispatch wrappers for example repeated /usr/bin/env to suppress shell-wrapper detection while still matching allowlist resolution. In security=allowlist + ask=on-miss, this could bypass the expected approval prompt...

GHSA-VQX8-9XXW-F2M7 OpenClaw's voice-call Twilio webhook replay could bypass manager dedupe because normalized event IDs were randomized per parse

Impact Twilio webhook replay events could bypass voice-call manager dedupe because normalized event IDs were randomized per parse. A replayed event could be treated as new and trigger duplicate or stale call-state transitions. Affected Packages / Versions - Package: openclaw npm - Vulnerable...

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 /...
