CVE-2026-28463

The CVE concerns OpenClaw: the exec-approvals allowlist validates pre-expansion argv tokens, but execution uses real shell expansion, enabling reading arbitrary local files via glob patterns or environment variables when host execution is enabled in allowlist mode. Affected component is the execu...

CVE-2026-28463 OpenClaw < 2026.2.14 - Arbitrary File Read via Shell Expansion in Safe Bins Allowlist

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.14 contain an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the exec-approvals allowlist validation that checks pre-expansion argv tokens but executes using real shell expansion. Attackers with authorization or through prompt-injection attacks can exploit safe binaries li...

Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF)

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Server-side Request Forgery SSRF in the NewWebFetchTool function and IsSSRFSafeURL implementation in security.go. An attacker can access internal services and sensitive data by submitting a URL that redirects to restricted internal...

dbt-common's commonprefix() doesn't protect against path traversal

Impact What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted? A path traversal vulnerability exists in dbt-common's safeextract function used when extracting tarball archives. The function uses os.path.commonprefix to validate that extracted files remain within the intended destination directory...

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions dbt-common versions prior to 1.34.2 dbt-common versions prior to 1.37.3 Description A path traversal issue exists in the safe extract function of dbt-common when extracting tarball archives. The function uses os.path.commonprefix to validate...

OpenClaw has an unspecified vulnerability (CNVD-2026-13371)

OpenClaw is an intelligent artificial assistant open-sourced by OpenClaw. OpenClaw suffers from a security vulnerability, which stems from tools.exec.safeBins authentication can be bypassed and can be exploited by an attacker to cause unapproved code execution...

OpenClaw has Windows Lobster shell fallback command injection in constrained fallback path

Summary On Windows, the Lobster extension previously retried certain spawn failures ENOENT/EINVAL with shell: true for wrapper compatibility. In that fallback path, tool-provided arguments could be interpreted by cmd.exe if fallback was triggered. Affected Packages / Versions - Package: openclaw...

OpenClaw's tools.exec.safeBins generic fallback allowed interpreter-style inline payload execution in allowlist mode

Summary When tools.exec.safeBins contained a binary without an explicit safe-bin profile, OpenClaw used a permissive generic fallback profile. In allowlist mode, that could let interpreter-style binaries for example python3, node, ruby execute inline payloads via flags like -c. This requires...

GHSA-8MF7-VV8W-HJR2 OpenClaw's tools.exec.safeBins generic fallback allowed interpreter-style inline payload execution in allowlist mode

Summary When tools.exec.safeBins contained a binary without an explicit safe-bin profile, OpenClaw used a permissive generic fallback profile. In allowlist mode, that could let interpreter-style binaries for example python3, node, ruby execute inline payloads via flags like -c. This requires...

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...

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...

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...

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 /...

GHSA-796M-2973-WC5Q OpenClaw has exec allowlist/safeBins policy-runtime mismatch via env -S wrapper interpretation

OpenClaw's `tools.exec.safeBins` PATH-hijack allowed trojan binaries to bypass allowlist checks

Summary tools.exec.safeBins allowlist checks could be bypassed by PATH-hijacked binaries, allowing execution of attacker-controlled trojan binaries under an allowlisted executable name. Affected Packages / Versions - Package: openclaw npm - Latest published version at triage time: 2026.2.17 -...

GHSA-3C6H-G97W-FG78 OpenClaw's tools.exec.safeBins sort long-option abbreviation bypass can skip exec approval in allowlist mode

Summary In OpenClaw, tools.exec.safeBins validation for sort could be bypassed via GNU long-option abbreviations in allowlist mode, allowing approval-free execution paths that should require approval. Affected Packages / Versions - Ecosystem: npm - Package: openclaw - Latest published version...

GHSA-5GJ7-JF77-Q2Q2 OpenClaw: safeBins static default trusted dirs allow writable-dir binary hijack (`jq`)

Summary In openclaw= 2026.2.24 planned next npm release - Latest published npm version at triage time 2026-02-24: 2026.2.23 Root Cause - Default safe-bin trusted directories included package-manager/user-managed paths. - Trust decision was directory-membership only for resolved executable paths...
