Summary
OpenClaw safeBins stdin-only bypass via sort output and recursive grep flags
Details
Summary
tools.exec.safeBins could be bypassed for filesystem access when sort output flags (-o / --output) or recursive grep flags were allowed through safe-bin execution paths.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Affected versions:
<= 2026.2.17 - Patched versions:
>= 2026.2.19 - Latest published version at triage time:
2026.2.17
Impact
In deployments that enabled tools.exec.safeBins, an attacker with access to command execution flows could turn intended stdin-only safe-bin usage into file writes (sort -o) or recursive file reads (grep -R).
