CVE-2026-32009 Details
Description
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.24 contain a policy bypass vulnerability in the safeBins allowlist evaluation that trusts static default directories including writable package-manager paths like /opt/homebrew/bin and /usr/local/bin. An attacker with write access to these trusted directories can place a malicious binary with the same name as an allowed executable to achieve arbitrary command execution within the OpenClaw runtime context.
A policy bypass vulnerability has been identified in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.24. The issue arises in the safeBins allowlist evaluation, which improperly trusts static default directories, including writable package-manager paths such as /opt/homebrew/bin and /usr/local/bin. An attacker with write access to these directories can place a malicious binary named after an allowed executable, leading to arbitrary command execution within the OpenClaw runtime context.
Users can update to OpenClaw version 2026.2.24 or later, which addresses this vulnerability by restricting default trusted directories to system paths and requiring explicit opt-in for package-manager paths.
