Incorrect Authorization

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in the system.run process when handling dispatch wrappers with exactly four transparent wrappers such as repeated env invocations before /bin/sh -c. An attacker ca...

OpenClaw: system.run wrapper-depth boundary could skip shell approval gating

OpenClaw's system.run dispatch-wrapper handling applied different depth-boundary rules to shell-wrapper approval detection and execution planning. With exactly four transparent dispatch wrappers such as repeated env invocations before /bin/sh -c, the approval classifier could stop treating the...

GHSA-3H2Q-J2V4-6W5R OpenClaw's system.run allowlist approval parsing missed PowerShell encoded-command wrappers

OpenClaw's system.run shell-wrapper detection did not recognize PowerShell -EncodedCommand forms as inline-command wrappers. In allowlist mode, a caller with access to system.run could invoke pwsh or powershell using -EncodedCommand, -enc, or -e, and the request would fall back to plain argv...

Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key via the system.run process. An attacker can bypass intended allowlist or approval mechanisms by supplying crafted environment variable...

OpenClaw's `system.run` env override filtering allowed dangerous helper-command pivots

Summary system.run env override sanitization allowed dangerous override-only helper-command pivots to reach subprocesses. A caller who could invoke system.run with env overrides could bypass allowlist/approval intent by steering an allowlisted tool through helper-command or config-loading...

GHSA-XGF2-VXV2-RRMG OpenClaw's shell startup env injection bypasses system.run allowlist intent (RCE class)

Summary system.run environment sanitization allowed shell-startup env overrides HOME, ZDOTDIR that can execute attacker-controlled startup files before allowlist-evaluated command bodies. Affected Packages / Versions - Package: openclaw npm - Affected: = 2026.2.22 Technical Details In affected...

OpenClaw has macOS `system.run` allowlist bypass via quoted command substitution

Summary In OpenClaw's macOS node-host path, system.run allowlist parsing in security=allowlist mode failed to reject command substitution tokens when they appeared inside double-quoted shell text. Because of that gap, payloads like echo "ok $id" could be treated as allowlist hits first executable...

GHSA-H3RM-6X7G-882F OpenClaw's Node system.run approval hardening wrapper semantic drift can execute unintended local scripts

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...

OpenClaw's system.run allowlist bypass via shell line-continuation command substitution

Summary In OpenClaw system.run allowlist mode, shell-wrapper analysis could be bypassed by splitting command substitution as $\ + newline + inside double quotes. Analysis treated the payload as allowlisted for example /bin/echo, while shell runtime folded the line continuation into $... and...
