OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Prior to version 2026.2.14, a mismatch between `rawCommand` and `command[]` in the node host `system.run` handler could cause allowlist/approval evaluation to be performed on one command while executing a different argv. This only impacts deployments that use the node host / companion node execution path (`system.run` on a node), enable allowlist-based exec policy (`security=allowlist`) with approval prompting driven by allowlist misses (for example `ask=on-miss`), allow an attacker to invoke `system.run`. Default/non-node configurations are not affected. Version 2026.2.14 enforces `rawCommand`/`command[]` consistency (gateway fail-fast + node host validation).

## Summary A mismatch between `rawCommand` and `command[]` in the node host `system.run` handler could cause allowlist/approval evaluation to be performed on one command while executing a different argv. ## Affected Configurations This only impacts deployments that: - Use the node host / companion node execution path (`system.run` on a node). - Enable allowlist-based exec policy (`security=allowlist`) with approval prompting driven by allowlist misses (for example `ask=on-miss`). - Allow an attacker to invoke `system.run`. Default/non-node configurations are not affected. ## Impact In affected configurations, an attacker who can invoke `system.run` can bypass allowlist enforcement and approval prompts by supplying an allowlisted `rawCommand` while providing a different `command[]` argv for execution. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.13` - Patched version: `>= 2026.2.14` (planned next release) ## Fix Enforce `rawCommand`/`command[]` consistency (gateway fail-fast + node host validation). ## Fix Commit(s) - cb3290fca32593956638f161d9776266b90ab891 ## Release Process Note This advisory pre-sets the patched version to the planned next release (`2026.2.14`). Once `openclaw@2026.2.14` is published to npm, the advisory can be published without further edits. Thanks @christos-eth for reporting.
