HIGHOpenClaw safeBins jq `$ENV` filter bypass allows environment variable disclosure

openclawnpmDescription
Summary
The jq safe-bin policy blocked explicit env usage but still allowed jq programs that accessed environment data through $ENV.
Impact
An operator-approved safe-bin jq command could disclose environment variables that the safe-bin policy was supposed to keep out of scope.
Affected Component
src/infra/exec-safe-bin-semantics.ts
Fixed Versions
- Affected:
<= 2026.3.24 - Patched:
>= 2026.3.28 - Latest stable
2026.3.28contains the fix.
Fix
Fixed by commit 78e2f3d66d (Exec: tighten jq safe-bin env checks).

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for openclaw. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update openclaw to 2026.3.28 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-jccr-rrw2-vc8h is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
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.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-jccr-rrw2-vc8h is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-jccr-rrw2-vc8h. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-jccr-rrw2-vc8h in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-jccr-rrw2-vc8h across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
