Description

Summary

Allow-always persistence could trust wrapper carrier executables instead of the actual invoked target when commands were routed through dispatch wrappers.

Impact

A one-time approval could persist a broader future allowlist entry than the operator intended, weakening execution approval boundaries.

Affected Component

src/infra/exec-approvals-allowlist.ts

Fixed Versions

  • Affected: <= 2026.3.24
  • Patched: >= 2026.3.28
  • Latest stable 2026.3.28 contains the fix.

Fix

Fixed by commit 9ec44fad39 (Exec approvals: reject wrapper carrier allow-always targets).

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 2026.3.28 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-p4x4-2r7f-wjxg 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.
