EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
Description
OpenClaude is an open-source coding-agent command line interface for cloud and local model providers. Prior to version 0.5.1, the dangerouslyDisableSandbox parameter is exposed as part of the BashTool input schema, meaning the LLM (an untrusted principal per the project's own threat model) can set it to true in any tool_use response. Combined with the default allowUnsandboxedCommands: true setting, a prompt-injected model can escape the sandbox for any arbitrary command, achieving full host-level code execution. This issue has been patched in version 0.5.1.
Affected Products
openclaudegitlawbDetection & mitigation playbook
Vendor / applianceDetect
Inventory every gitlawb openclaude deployment and check each version against the affected-products list above. Because the exploit targets the running system rather than your application code, also watch for remote code execution at the network and runtime layer — O3 flags the exploit behaviour from runtime telemetry and egress traffic even before a vulnerable build is confirmed.
Fix
Apply the gitlawb openclaude security patch or hotfix for CVE-2026-42074 on the affected version, following the vendor advisory for your exact build.
Workarounds
Cut exposure now: restrict the management/admin interface to trusted networks, segment the device, and apply the vendor's recommended configuration mitigations and any WAF/IPS signature. O3's runtime protection blocks the exploit chain at execution, holding the line on unpatched or end-of-life systems until you can patch.
How O3 protects you
O3 detects and blocks CVE-2026-42074 exploitation at runtime: eBPF exploit-chain detection, plus L7 egress monitoring that catches the post-exploitation callback and severs the attacker's outbound channel.
Tailored to CVE-2026-42074. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2026-42074 being exploited in your environment?
O3's eBPF runtime sensors and L7 egress monitoring detect and block the CVE-2026-42074 exploit chain at execution — protecting unpatched and end-of-life systems until the vendor patch is applied.
