AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability exists in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22 and involves an allowlist bypass in the safe-bin configuration.
Specifically, when the 'sort' command is manually added to the tools.exec.safeBins allowlist, attackers can exploit the --compress-program flag of the sort command.
This allows them to execute arbitrary external programs without operator approval, even when the system is in allowlist mode with ask=on-miss enabled.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The vulnerability can allow an attacker with limited privileges to execute arbitrary external programs without operator approval.
This could lead to unauthorized actions being performed on the system, potentially compromising system integrity and security.
