GHSA-CCG8-46R6-9QGJ
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-03 19:16 – Updated: 2026-03-30 13:46Summary
A wrapper-depth parsing mismatch in system.run allowed nested transparent dispatch wrappers (for example repeated /usr/bin/env) to suppress shell-wrapper detection while still matching allowlist resolution. In security=allowlist + ask=on-miss, this could bypass the expected approval prompt for shell execution.
Severity / Trust Model
OpenClaw’s documented model treats authenticated gateway callers as trusted operators and exec approvals as operator guardrails. This issue is still a real approval-boundary bypass and is triaged as Medium in that model.
Technical Details
- Dispatch-wrapper unwrapping stopped at
MAX_DISPATCH_WRAPPER_DEPTH. - Shell-wrapper extraction could return non-wrapper once depth was exhausted.
- Allowlist resolution could still succeed on partially unwrapped argv beginning with
/usr/bin/env. - Result: nested wrapper chains could execute
/bin/sh -c ...without fresh approval inallowlist+ask=on-miss.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Latest published version at triage time:
2026.2.23 - Vulnerable versions:
<= 2026.2.23 - Patched versions (planned next release):
>= 2026.2.24
Fix Commit(s)
57c9a18180c8b14885bbd95474cbb17ff2d03f0b
Verification
- Added regression coverage for depth-overflow wrapper chains at resolution and
system.runinvocation layers. - Reproduced previous PoC behavior before fix, then confirmed denial after fix with
SYSTEM_RUN_DENIED: approval required.
Release Process Note
patched_versions is pre-set to the planned next release (2026.2.24) so once npm publish is complete, advisory publication can proceed without additional version edits.
OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
Publication Update (2026-02-25)
openclaw@2026.2.24 is published on npm and contains the fix commit(s) listed above. This advisory now marks >= 2026.2.24 as patched.

}
Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
