{"id":"CVE-2026-32043","summary":"OpenClaw \u003c 2026.2.25 - Time-of-Check-Time-of-Use via Mutable Symlink in system.run cwd Parameter","details":"OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.25 contain a time-of-check-time-of-use vulnerability in approval-bound system.run execution where the cwd parameter is validated at approval time but resolved at execution time. Attackers can retarget a symlinked cwd between approval and execution to bypass command execution restrictions and execute arbitrary commands on node hosts.","aliases":["GHSA-mwcg-wfq3-4gjc"],"modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:29.880652538Z","published":"2026-03-21T00:42:18.279Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-367"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/32xxx/CVE-2026-32043.json","cna_assigner":"VulnCheck"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/32xxx/CVE-2026-32043.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-mwcg-wfq3-4gjc"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32043"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-time-of-check-time-of-use-via-mutable-symlink-in-system-run-cwd-parameter"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/f789f880c934caa8be25b38832f27f90f37903db"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4b5d4a4c660d05e4bd73f0e11123e68fd9664432"},{"fixed":"f789f880c934caa8be25b38832f27f90f37903db"}],"database_specific":{"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:openclaw:openclaw:*:*:*:*:*:node.js:*:*","extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2026.2.25"}],"source":["CPE_RANGE","REFERENCES"]}}],"versions":["v2026.2.25-beta.1","v2026.2.24","v2026.2.24-beta.1","v2026.2.23","v2026.2.23-beta.1","v2026.2.22","v2026.2.22-beta.1","v2026.2.21","v2026.2.21-beta.1","v2026.2.19-beta.1","v2026.2.19","v2026.2.17","v2026.2.15-beta.1","v2026.2.14","v2026.2.13","v2026.2.12","v2026.2.9","v2026.2.6-3","v2026.2.6-2","v2026.2.6-1","v2026.2.6","v2026.2.3","v2026.2.2","v2026.2.1","v2026.1.30","v2026.1.29","v2026.1.24-1","v2026.1.24","v2026.1.23","v2026.1.22","v2026.1.21","v2026.1.20","v2026.1.16-2","v2026.1.15","v2026.1.14-1","v2026.1.13","v2026.1.12-2","v2026.1.12","v2026.1.11-3","v2026.1.11-2","v2026.1.11-1","v2026.1.11","v2026.1.10","v2026.1.9","v2026.1.8","v2026.1.5-3","v2026.1.5-2","v2026.1.5-1","v2026.1.5","v2.0.0-beta5","v2.0.0-beta4","v2.0.0-beta3","v2.0.0-beta2","v2.0.0-beta1","v1.3.0","v1.2.2","v1.2.1","v1.2.0","v1.1.0","v1.0.4","v0.1.3","v0.1.2","v0.1.1","v0.1.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-32043.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:H/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
