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'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.

CVE-2026-28363

In OpenClaw before 2026.2.23, tools.exec.safeBins validation for sort could be bypassed via GNU long-option abbreviations such as --compress-prog in allowlist mode, leading to approval-free execution paths that were intended to require approval. Only an exact string such as --compress-program was...
