Path Hijacking in OpenClaw exec.safeBins Enables Trojan Execution

Publication date: 2026-03-19

Last updated on: 2026-03-25

Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
OpenClaw versions 2026.1.21 prior to 2026.2.19 contain a path hijacking vulnerability in tools.exec.safeBins that allows attackers to bypass allowlist checks by controlling process PATH resolution. Attackers who can influence the gateway process PATH or launch environment can execute trojan binaries with allowlisted names, such as jq, circumventing executable validation controls.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in OpenClaw versions 2026.1.21 prior to 2026.2.19 and involves a path hijacking issue in the tools.exec.safeBins component.

Attackers who can influence the PATH environment variable of the gateway process or the launch environment can bypass allowlist checks by controlling how the system resolves executable paths.

Specifically, attackers can execute trojan binaries that have the same names as allowlisted executables (for example, 'jq'), thereby circumventing executable validation controls.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow attackers with limited privileges to execute malicious code by tricking the system into running trojan binaries instead of legitimate allowlisted executables.

As a result, attackers can gain unauthorized control over processes or data, potentially leading to confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.
