{"id":"CVE-2026-32016","aliases":["GHSA-7f4q-9rqh-x36p"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-32016","summary":"OpenClaw < 2026.2.22 - Path Traversal via Basename-Only Allowlist Matching on macOS","details":"### Summary\nOn macOS node-host, optional exec-approval allowlist mode previously treated basename-only entries (for example `echo`) as trusted command matches.\nThis could allow a same-name local binary (for example `./echo`) to run without approval under `security=allowlist` + `ask=on-miss`.\n\n### Scope / Preconditions\n- macOS node-host path.\n- Optional exec approvals feature enabled with `security=allowlist`.\n- Basename-only allowlist entries configured.\n\nDefault install posture is not impacted: `security=deny` by default.\n\n### Affected Packages / Versions\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Latest published npm version at triage time: `2026.2.21-2`\n- Vulnerable range: `<=2026.2.21-2`\n- Planned patched version (next release): `>= 2026.2.22`\n\n### Remediation\n- Enforced path-only allowlist matching on macOS node-host (basename fallback removed).\n- Added migration for legacy basename allowlist entries to last-resolved paths when available.\n- UI/store validation now rejects non-path allowlist patterns.\n\n### Fix Commit(s)\n- dd41fadcaf58fd9deb963d6e163c56161e7b35dd\n\n### Release Process Note\nPatched version is pre-set for the planned next release (`2026.2.22`). Once that npm release is out, advisory can be published without further field edits.\n\nOpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.","published":"2026-03-19T22:06:53.983Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:35.816323474Z","cvss":null,"epss":{"score":0.00122,"percentile":0.02236,"asOf":"2026-09-17"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","fixedVersion":"2026.2.22"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/dd41fadcaf58fd9deb963d6e163c56161e7b35dd","label":"openclaw/openclaw@dd41fad"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/32xxx/CVE-2026-32016.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-7f4q-9rqh-x36p"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32016"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-path-traversal-via-basename-only-allowlist-matching-on-macos"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/dd41fadcaf58fd9deb963d6e163c56161e7b35dd"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:35.816323474Z"}}
