{"id":"GHSA-2cq5-mf3v-mx44","summary":"OpenClaw: busybox and toybox applet execution weakened exec approval binding","details":"## Summary\n\nbusybox and toybox applet execution weakened exec approval binding.\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n\n- Package: `openclaw`\n- Ecosystem: npm\n- Affected versions: `\u003e= 2026.2.23 \u003c 2026.4.12`\n- Patched versions: `\u003e= 2026.4.12`\n\n## Impact\n\nOpaque multi-call binaries such as `busybox` and `toybox` could obscure which applet or script-like behavior would actually run, weakening exec approval binding and risk classification.\n\n## Technical Details\n\nThe fix treats `busybox` and `toybox` as opaque mutable script runners and fails closed rather than binding unsafe applet invocations.\n\n## Fix\n\nThe issue was fixed in #65713. The first stable tag containing the fix is `v2026.4.12`, and `openclaw@2026.4.14` includes the fix.\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n\n- `666f48d9b882a8a1415ca53f9567c72499d850c9`\n- PR: #65713\n\n## Release Process Note\n\nUsers should upgrade to `openclaw` 2026.4.12 or newer. The latest npm release, `2026.4.14`, already includes the fix.\n\n## Credits\n\nThanks to @decsecre583 for reporting this issue.","aliases":["CVE-2026-43530"],"modified":"2026-05-08T01:50:47.048771Z","published":"2026-04-17T22:16:04Z","database_specific":{"nvd_published_at":"2026-05-05T12:16:19Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-863"],"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-04-17T22:16:04Z"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-2cq5-mf3v-mx44"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-43530"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/pull/65713"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/666f48d9b882a8a1415ca53f9567c72499d850c9"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-weakened-exec-approval-binding-via-busybox-and-toybox-applet-execution"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"2026.2.23"},{"fixed":"2026.4.12"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/04/GHSA-2cq5-mf3v-mx44/GHSA-2cq5-mf3v-mx44.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
