{"id":"CVE-2026-32973","aliases":["GHSA-f8r2-vg7x-gh8m"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-32973","summary":"OpenClaw < 2026.3.11 - Exec Allowlist Pattern Overmatch via POSIX Path Normalization","details":"### Summary\n\n`matchesExecAllowlistPattern` normalized patterns and targets with lowercasing and compiled glob matching too broadly on POSIX. In addition, the `?` wildcard could match `/`, which allowed matches to cross path segments.\n\n### Impact\n\nThese matching rules could overmatch allowlist entries and permit commands or executable paths that an operator did not intend to approve.\n\n### Affected versions\n\n`openclaw` `<= 2026.3.8`\n\n### Patch\n\nFixed in `openclaw` `2026.3.11` and included in later releases such as `2026.3.12`. Exec allowlist matching now respects the intended path semantics, and regression tests cover the POSIX case-folding and slash-crossing cases.","published":"2026-03-29T12:44:25.567Z","modified":"2026-10-28T02:31:12.250517208Z","cvss":null,"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","fixedVersion":"2026.3.11"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/32xxx/CVE-2026-32973.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-f8r2-vg7x-gh8m"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32973"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-exec-allowlist-pattern-overmatch-via-posix-path-normalization"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/releases/tag/v2026.3.11"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-10-28T02:31:12.250517208Z"}}
