Description
OpenClaw versions 2026.5.1 through 2026.7.0 fail to apply the configured exec approval path to Google Meet node commands. The googlemeet.chrome command accepts caller-supplied audio command arrays and executes them on a paired node without going through the normal system.run approval flow. In deployments with the Google Meet plugin enabled, a paired Chrome node, and the googlemeet.chrome node command allowed, a tool-enabled agent able to invoke that command can execute attacker-selected processes on the paired node, impacting files, credentials, browser profiles, and availability on that node. The issue is fixed in 2026.7.1; as a workaround, remove googlemeet.chrome from allowed node commands or disable the Google Meet plugin.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`). Because remote code execution targets the running service rather than your application code, O3 also flags the exploit behaviour from runtime telemetry and egress traffic.
Remediation status
No fixed release is recorded for CVE-2026-100599 yet. Track the upstream advisory, and apply the exposure-reduction steps below in the meantime.
Mitigate without a patch
Reduce reachability while you patch: restrict network access to the service to trusted sources, disable or gate the affected component where your deployment allows it, and add a WAF/IPS signature if one exists for CVE-2026-100599. O3's runtime protection blocks the os command injection flaw at execution, which holds the line on hosts you cannot patch immediately.
How O3 protects you
O3 detects and blocks CVE-2026-100599 exploitation at runtime with eBPF exploit-chain detection, plus L7 egress monitoring that catches a post-exploitation callback and cuts the attacker's outbound channel.
Tailored to CVE-2026-100599. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
