Description

Summary

tools.exec.safeBins allowlist checks could be bypassed by PATH-hijacked binaries, allowing execution of attacker-controlled trojan binaries under an allowlisted executable name.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Latest published version at triage time: 2026.2.17
  • Affected range: >= 2026.1.21 < 2026.2.18
  • Patched version: 2026.2.19

Impact

In allowlist mode, safeBins validation previously accepted a resolved executable path based on executable name and argument shape, without enforcing trusted executable directories. If an attacker could influence process PATH resolution before gateway startup (or otherwise control the gateway launch environment), a trojan binary with an allowlisted name (for example jq) could be executed.

Severity Rationale

This issue is rated medium because exploitation requires an additional precondition: influencing the gateway process PATH / launch environment. Request-scoped PATH injection is blocked for host execution.

Fix

safeBins now requires the resolved executable path to come from trusted bin directories (system defaults plus gateway startup PATH), closing the bypass.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for openclaw, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update openclaw to 2026.2.19 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-32015 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
