GHSA-8mf7-vv8w-hjr2
### Summary When `tools.exec.safeBins` contained a binary without an explicit safe-bin profile, OpenClaw used a permissive generic fallback profile. In allowlist mode, that could let interpreter-style binaries (for example `python3`, `node`, `ruby`) execute inline payloads via flags like `-c`. This requires explicit operator configuration to add such binaries to `safeBins`, so impact is limited to non-default/misconfigured deployments. ### Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.21-2` - Patched in code: `>= 2026.2.22` (planned next npm release) ### Fix - Remove generic safe-bin fallback during allowlist evaluation. - Require explicit safe-bin profiles for `safeBins` entries. - Add configurable `tools.exec.safeBinProfiles` (global + per-agent) for safe custom binaries. - Update docs to clearly separate `safeBins` from command allowlist semantics. ### Fix Commit(s) - `47c3f742b6c488be26dd7b9636dbbb8676089154` ### Release Process Note `patched_versions` is pre-set to the planned next release (`>= 2026.2.22`) so once that npm release is published, the advisory can be published directly without further metadata edits. OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
