Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a code injection flaw in zevorn rt-claw up to version 0.2.0. It affects the Telegram-to-AI tool execution flow, specifically the function tool_run_script_execute in claw/services/tools/script.c. An attacker can remotely inject and execute arbitrary code by sending a malicious Telegram message that triggers the AI model to call the run_script tool without user confirmation. The tool then executes the script using Python, allowing full system compromise.

Detection Guidance

Check for unauthorized Python script execution in rt-claw logs or system processes. Look for unexpected files in temporary directories or Telegram messages triggering script execution. Monitor network traffic for unusual outbound connections from the rt-claw process.

Impact Analysis

If you use rt-claw with Telegram-to-AI integration and the run_script feature enabled, an attacker could remotely execute arbitrary commands on your system. This could lead to unauthorized file access, credential theft, device tampering, or further attacks leveraging the compromised rt-claw process. The impact depends on the privileges of the rt-claw process.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, violating GDPR's data protection principles or HIPAA's security requirements for protected health information. Unauthorized code execution may result in data breaches, loss of confidentiality, or integrity violations, potentially leading to regulatory penalties or compliance failures.

Mitigation Strategies

Disable the run_script feature in rt-claw configuration immediately. Restrict network access to rt-claw instances, especially Telegram integration endpoints. Review and revoke any unauthorized files or processes linked to rt-claw.
