OpenClaw tools.exec.safeBins Arbitrary Command Execution

The vulnerability of the tools.exec.safeBins configuration in the AI agent OpenClaw previously known as ClawdBot or MoltBot is related to the failure to take measures to neutralize special elements. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a perpetrator to execute arbitrary commands...

CVE-2026-32015

OpenClaw versions 2026.1.21 prior to 2026.2.19 contain a path hijacking vulnerability in tools.exec.safeBins that allows attackers to bypass allowlist checks by controlling process PATH resolution. Attackers who can influence the gateway process PATH or launch environment can execute trojan...

CVE-2026-32022

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.21 contain a stdin-only policy bypass vulnerability in the grep tool within tools.exec.safeBins that allows attackers to read arbitrary files by supplying a pattern via the -e flag parameter. Attackers can include a positional filename operand to bypass file acce...

CVE-2026-32010

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22 contain an allowlist bypass vulnerability in the safe-bin configuration when sort is manually added to tools.exec.safeBins. Attackers can invoke sort with the --compress-program flag to execute arbitrary external programs without operator approval in allowlist...

CVE-2026-31996

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.19 tools.exec.safeBins contains an input validation bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to execute unintended filesystem operations through sort output flags or recursive grep flags. Attackers with command execution access can leverage sort -o flag for...

CVE-2026-32015: Untrusted Search Path

OpenClaw versions 2026.1.21 prior to 2026.2.19 contain a path hijacking vulnerability in tools.exec.safeBins that allows attackers to bypass allowlist checks by controlling process PATH resolution. Attackers who can influence the gateway process PATH or launch environment can execute trojan...

CVE-2026-32022: Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.21 contain a stdin-only policy bypass vulnerability in the grep tool within tools.exec.safeBins that allows attackers to read arbitrary files by supplying a pattern via the -e flag parameter. Attackers can include a positional filename operand to bypass file acce...

CVE-2026-31996: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.19 tools.exec.safeBins contains an input validation bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to execute unintended filesystem operations through sort output flags or recursive grep flags. Attackers with command execution access can leverage sort -o flag for...

OpenClaw operating system command injection vulnerability

OpenClaw is an open-source intelligent artificial assistant developed by OpenClaw. Versions of OpenClaw prior to 2026.2.19 had a vulnerability related to operating system command injection. This vulnerability stemmed from a flaw in input validation within tools.exec.safeBins, which could allow...

CVE-2026-32010: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22 contain an allowlist bypass vulnerability in the safe-bin configuration when sort is manually added to tools.exec.safeBins. Attackers can invoke sort with the --compress-program flag to execute arbitrary external programs without operator approval in allowlist...

Command Injection

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via the compress-program parameter in the tools.exec.safeBins configuration. An attacker can execute unauthorized external programs by bypassing intended approval...

CVE-2026-4040

A vulnerability was identified in OpenClaw up to 2026.2.17. This issue affects the function tools.exec.safeBins of the component File Existence Handler. The manipulation leads to information exposure through discrepancy. The attack needs to be performed locally. Upgrading to version...

CVE-2026-4040: Observable Discrepancy

A vulnerability was identified in OpenClaw up to 2026.2.17. This issue affects the function tools.exec.safeBins of the component File Existence Handler. The manipulation leads to information exposure through discrepancy. The attack needs to be performed locally. Upgrading to version...

CVE-2026-32059

OpenClaw version 2026.2.22-2 prior to 2026.2.23 tools.exec.safeBins validation for sort command fails to properly validate GNU long-option abbreviations, allowing attackers to bypass denied-flag checks via abbreviated options. Remote attackers can execute sort commands with abbreviated long optio...

CVE-2026-32059: Incorrect Authorization

OpenClaw version 2026.2.22-2 prior to 2026.2.23 tools.exec.safeBins validation for sort command fails to properly validate GNU long-option abbreviations, allowing attackers to bypass denied-flag checks via abbreviated options. Remote attackers can execute sort commands with abbreviated long optio...

PT-2026-25445

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...

PT-2026-25420

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 /...

PT-2026-25426

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...

PT-2026-25479

Summary In openclaw allowlist mode, tools.exec.safeBins trusted PATH-derived directories for safe-bin resolution. A same-name binary placed in a trusted PATH directory could satisfy safe-bin checks and execute. Impact This is an allowlist bypass in exec policy that can lead to command execution i...
