EPSS · scored 2026-10-27

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 mode with ask=on-miss enabled.

  • WID-SEC-W-2026-0472OpenClaw: Mehrere SchwachstellenDeutsch2026-02-22csaf · cert_bundDE

    Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in OpenClaw ausnutzen, um beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen, sich erhöhte Berechtigungen zu verschaffen, Daten zu manipulieren, einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand auszulösen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen oder andere nicht näher spezifizierte Angriffe durchzuführen.

  • GHSA-4gc7-qcvf-38wgIn OpenClaw, manually adding sort to tools.exec.safeBins could bypass allowlist approval via --compress-program2026-03-03ghsa · osvUS

    ### 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=<prog>` as valid safe-bin usage. In `security=allowlist` + `ask=on-miss`, this could satisfy allowlist checks and skip operator approval, while GNU `sort` may invoke an external program via `--compress-program`. ### Affected Packages / Versions - Ecosystem: npm - Package: `openclaw` - Affected: `<= 2026.2.21-2` - Patched (planned next release): `>= 2026.2.22` ### Default Installations Default installs are not impacted by this specific path because `sort` is not included in default `tools.exec.safeBins`. ### Impact - Type: approval/allowlist bypass in optional safe-bin configuration - Scope: deployments that explicitly include `sort` in `tools.exec.safeBins` and use `allowlist + ask=on-miss` - Consequence: an external program may run under the OpenClaw process context without expected approval ### Technical Details - `sort` safe-bin profile allowed `--compress-program` as a value flag. - Safe-bin satisfaction could therefore mark allowlist checks as satisfied. - In `ask=on-miss`, satisfied allowlist checks skip approval prompts. ### Fix - Block `--compress-program` in safe-bin sort policy. - Add unit and e2e regression coverage for `sort --compress-program` denial in safe-bin mode. ### Fix Commit(s) - `57fbbaebca4d34d17549accf6092ae26eb7b605c` OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
