GHSA-7977-c43c-xpwj
OpenClaw is vulnerable to validation bypass through GNU long-option abbreviations in allowlist mode
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
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 denied.
