CVE-2026-28363 Details
Description
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.
A vulnerability in OpenClaw versions through 2026.2.22-2 allows for a bypass of the tools.exec.safeBins validation for the sort command. This issue arises from the handling of GNU long-option abbreviations, such as --compress-prog, which can be used to circumvent approval requirements in allowlist mode. The vulnerability enables execution paths that should normally require approval to be accessed without it.
Users can upgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.2.23 or later to address this vulnerability.
