Unsafe Dependency Resolution

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Unsafe Dependency Resolution via the safeBins process. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands in the application runtime context by placing a malicious binary with the same name as a...

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 /...

OpenClaw's non-default safeBins sort configuration can bypass intended allowlist approval constraints

When sort is explicitly added to tools.exec.safeBins non-default, the --compress-program option can invoke an external helper and bypass the intended safe-bin approval constraints in allowlist mode. Affected Packages / Versions - Package: openclaw npm - Vulnerable versions: =2026.2.22. Once that...

OpenClaw safeBins file-existence oracle information disclosure

An information disclosure vulnerability in OpenClaw's tools.exec.safeBins approval flow allowed a file-existence oracle. When safe-bin validation examined candidate file paths, command allow/deny behavior could differ based on whether a path already existed on the host filesystem. An attacker cou...
