Overview

openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs via the --compress-program flag in the sort process when sort is manually added to the tools.exec.safeBins configuration. An attacker can execute arbitrary external programs by supplying a crafted value to the --compress-program flag, bypassing expected operator approval. This is only exploitable if sort is explicitly included in tools.exec.safeBins and the deployment uses both security=allowlist and ask=on-miss settings.
