Description

Summary

In approval-enabled host=node workflows, system.run approvals did not always carry a strict, versioned execution-context binding. In uncommon setups that rely on these approvals as an integrity guardrail, a previously approved request could be reused with changed env input.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: npm openclaw
  • Latest published npm version at triage: 2026.2.25
  • Affected range: <= 2026.2.25
  • Planned fixed version (next npm release): 2026.2.26

Preconditions / Typical Exposure

This requires all of the following:

  • system.run usage through host=node
  • Exec approvals enabled and used as an execution-integrity control
  • Access to an approval id in the same context

Most default single-operator local setups do not rely on this path, so practical exposure is typically lower.

Details

Approval matching now uses a required versioned binding (systemRunBindingV1) over command argv, cwd, agent/session context, and env hash.

The fix:

  • Requires commandArgv when requesting host=node approvals.
  • Requires systemRunBindingV1 when consuming approvals for node system.run.
  • Removes legacy non-versioned fallback matching and fails closed on missing/mismatched bindings.
  • Keeps env mismatch handling explicit and blocks GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF in host env policy.
  • Adds/updates regression and contract coverage for mismatch mapping and binding rules.

Impact

Configuration-dependent approval-integrity weakness in node-host exec approval flows. Severity remains medium because exploitation depends on this specific approval mode and context.

Release Process Note

patched_versions is pre-set to the planned next release (2026.2.26) so once npm release 2026.2.26 is published, the advisory can be published without further metadata edits.

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 2026.2.26 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-32058 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-32058 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Tailored to CVE-2026-32058. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
