Overview

openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection in the tools.exec.safeBins process when a binary without an explicit safe-bin profile is added in allowlist mode. An attacker can execute arbitrary code by supplying interpreter-style binaries (such as python3, node, or ruby) with inline payloads via command-line flags like -c. This is only exploitable if an operator explicitly configures such binaries in safeBins, which is not the default configuration.
