OpenClaw Node host system.run rawCommand/command mismatch can bypass allowlist/approvals
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## 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)

## Release Process Note
