{"id":"GHSA-8mf7-vv8w-hjr2","aliases":[],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/GHSA-8mf7-vv8w-hjr2","summary":"OpenClaw's tools.exec.safeBins generic fallback allowed interpreter-style inline payload execution in allowlist mode","details":"### Summary\nWhen `tools.exec.safeBins` contained a binary without an explicit safe-bin profile, OpenClaw used a permissive generic fallback profile. In allowlist mode, that could let interpreter-style binaries (for example `python3`, `node`, `ruby`) execute inline payloads via flags like `-c`.\n\nThis requires explicit operator configuration to add such binaries to `safeBins`, so impact is limited to non-default/misconfigured deployments.\n\n### Affected Packages / Versions\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.21-2`\n- Patched in code: `>= 2026.2.22` (planned next npm release)\n\n### Fix\n- Remove generic safe-bin fallback during allowlist evaluation.\n- Require explicit safe-bin profiles for `safeBins` entries.\n- Add configurable `tools.exec.safeBinProfiles` (global + per-agent) for safe custom binaries.\n- Update docs to clearly separate `safeBins` from command allowlist semantics.\n\n### Fix Commit(s)\n- `47c3f742b6c488be26dd7b9636dbbb8676089154`\n\n### Release Process Note\n`patched_versions` is pre-set to the planned next release (`>= 2026.2.22`) so once that npm release is published, the advisory can be published directly without further metadata edits.\n\nOpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.","published":"2026-03-03T23:05:35Z","modified":"2026-03-04T15:14:10.214309Z","cvss":null,"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","fixedVersion":"2026.2.22"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/47c3f742b6c488be26dd7b9636dbbb8676089154","label":"openclaw/openclaw@47c3f74"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-8mf7-vv8w-hjr2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/47c3f742b6c488be26dd7b9636dbbb8676089154"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-03-04T15:14:10.214309Z"}}
