{"id":"GHSA-7f4q-9rqh-x36p","summary":"OpenClaw: macOS optional allowlist basename matching could bypass path-based policy","details":"### Summary\nOn macOS node-host, optional exec-approval allowlist mode previously treated basename-only entries (for example `echo`) as trusted command matches.\nThis could allow a same-name local binary (for example `./echo`) to run without approval under `security=allowlist` + `ask=on-miss`.\n\n### Scope / Preconditions\n- macOS node-host path.\n- Optional exec approvals feature enabled with `security=allowlist`.\n- Basename-only allowlist entries configured.\n\nDefault install posture is not impacted: `security=deny` by default.\n\n### Affected Packages / Versions\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Latest published npm version at triage time: `2026.2.21-2`\n- Vulnerable range: `\u003c=2026.2.21-2`\n- Planned patched version (next release): `\u003e= 2026.2.22`\n\n### Remediation\n- Enforced path-only allowlist matching on macOS node-host (basename fallback removed).\n- Added migration for legacy basename allowlist entries to last-resolved paths when available.\n- UI/store validation now rejects non-path allowlist patterns.\n\n### Fix Commit(s)\n- dd41fadcaf58fd9deb963d6e163c56161e7b35dd\n\n### Release Process Note\nPatched version is pre-set for the planned next release (`2026.2.22`). Once that npm release is out, advisory can be published without further field edits.\n\nOpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.","aliases":["CVE-2026-32016"],"modified":"2026-03-30T14:04:43.728195Z","published":"2026-03-03T00:41:20Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-426","CWE-863"],"severity":"MODERATE","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-03-03T00:41:20Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-03-19T22:16:35Z"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-7f4q-9rqh-x36p"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32016"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/dd41fadcaf58fd9deb963d6e163c56161e7b35dd"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-path-traversal-via-basename-only-allowlist-matching-on-macos"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2026.2.22"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-7f4q-9rqh-x36p/GHSA-7f4q-9rqh-x36p.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
