Command Injection

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via the system.run shell-wrapper. An attacker can execute arbitrary shell commands outside the intended allowlisted command body by injecting SHELLOPTS and PS4 environme...

GHSA-2FGQ-7J6H-9RM4 OpenClaw has system.run shell-wrapper env injection via SHELLOPTS/PS4 can bypass allowlist intent (RCE)

Summary system.run allowed SHELLOPTS + PS4 environment injection to trigger command substitution during bash -lc xtrace expansion before the allowlisted command body executed. Affected Packages / Versions - Package: openclaw npm - Affected: = 2026.2.21-2 includes latest published npm version at...

SUSE CVE-2026-28351

pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library. Prior to version 6.7.4, an attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to large memory usage. This requires parsing the content stream using the RunLengthDecode filter. This has been fixed in pypdf 6.7.4. As a workaroun...

PT-2026-26222

Summary system.run exec allowlist analysis treated wrapper binaries as the effective executable and did not fully unwrap env/shell-dispatch wrappers. This allowed wrapper-smuggled payloads for example env bash -lc ... to satisfy an allowlist entry for the wrapper while executing non-allowlisted...

PT-2026-26228

Summary In [email protected], node system.run approval-path hardening rewrote wrapper command argv in a way that changed execution semantics. A command shown/approved as a shell payload for example echo SAFE could execute a different local script when wrapper argv were rewritten. Affected Package...

PT-2026-26404

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...

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions picklescan versions prior to 1.0.4 Description An incomplete blocklist for the profile module fails to block the module-level profile.run function. This allows attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution via exec by crafting malicious pickle...

Incorrect Authorization

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via the system.run approvals. An attacker can cause execution of an unintended binary by crafting a command with a trailing-space in the executable token and...

GHSA-HWPQ-RRPF-PGCQ OpenClaw: system.run approval identity mismatch could execute a different binary than displayed

Summary system.run approvals in OpenClaw used rendered command text as the approval identity while trimming argv token whitespace. Runtime execution still used raw argv. A crafted trailing-space executable token could therefore execute a different binary than what the approver saw. Affected...

OpenClaw Vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via Node Invoke Approval Bypass in Gateway

Summary A remote code execution RCE vulnerability in the gateway-to-node invocation path allowed an authenticated gateway client to bypass node-host exec approvals by injecting internal control fields into node.invoke parameters. Affected Component - Gateway method: node.invoke for node command...

GHSA-GV46-4XFQ-JV58 OpenClaw Vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via Node Invoke Approval Bypass in Gateway

OpenClaw Node system.run approval context-binding weakness in approval-enabled host=node flows

Summary In approval-enabled host=node workflows, system.run approvals did not always carry a strict, versioned execution-context binding. In uncommon setups that rely on these approvals as an integrity guardrail, a previously approved request could be reused with changed env input. Affected...

GHSA-6X2M-HQFW-HVPJ OpenClaw: Node exec approvals could be replayed across nodes

Summary exec.approval requests for host=node were not explicitly bound to the target nodeId, so an approval intended for one node could be replayed for a different node under the same operator-controlled gateway fleet. Impact An operator approval for a system.run request could be reused across...

OpenClaw macOS companion app (beta): allowlist parsing mismatch for system.run shell chains

Summary In the macOS companion app currently beta, a parsing mismatch in exec approvals could let shell-chain payloads pass allowlist checks in system.run under specific settings. Impact This path requires all of the following: - authenticated caller with operator.write - paired macOS beta node...
