Summary
OpenClaw < 2026.2.19 - Arbitrary File Write via Short-Option Bypass in exec Allowlist
Original description
The description as published by the source.
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.19 contain an allowlist bypass vulnerability in the exec safeBins policy that allows attackers to write arbitrary files using short-option payloads. Attackers can bypass argument validation by attaching short options like -o to whitelisted binaries, enabling unauthorized file-write operations that should be denied by safeBins checks.
