CVE-2026-32003 Details
Description
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22 contain an environment variable injection vulnerability in the system.run function that allows attackers to bypass command allowlist restrictions via SHELLOPTS and PS4 environment variables. An attacker who can invoke system.run with request-scoped environment variables can execute arbitrary shell commands outside the intended allowlisted command body through bash xtrace expansion.
A vulnerability exists in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22, allowing for environment variable injection in the system.run function. This vulnerability enables attackers to bypass command allowlist restrictions by using the SHELLOPTS and PS4 environment variables. When system.run is invoked with request-scoped environment variables, arbitrary shell commands can be executed outside the intended allowlisted command body, taking advantage of bash's xtrace expansion.
Users can update to OpenClaw version 2026.2.22 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
