Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-02-27 04:16 - Updated: 2026-06-17 10:28
Summary
In OpenClaw before 2026.2.23, tools.exec.safeBins validation for sort could be bypassed via GNU long-option abbreviations (such as --compress-prog) in allowlist mode, leading to approval-free execution paths that were intended to require approval. Only an exact string such as --compress-program was denied.
