{"id":"GHSA-h3f9-mjwj-w476","summary":"OpenClaw Node host system.run rawCommand/command mismatch can bypass allowlist/approvals","details":"## Summary\n\nA mismatch between `rawCommand` and `command[]` in the node host `system.run` handler could cause allowlist/approval evaluation to be performed on one command while executing a different argv.\n\n## Affected Configurations\n\nThis only impacts deployments that:\n\n- Use the node host / companion node execution path (`system.run` on a node).\n- Enable allowlist-based exec policy (`security=allowlist`) with approval prompting driven by allowlist misses (for example `ask=on-miss`).\n- Allow an attacker to invoke `system.run`.\n\nDefault/non-node configurations are not affected.\n\n## Impact\n\nIn affected configurations, an attacker who can invoke `system.run` can bypass allowlist enforcement and approval prompts by supplying an allowlisted `rawCommand` while providing a different `command[]` argv for execution.\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Affected versions: `\u003c= 2026.2.13`\n- Patched version: `\u003e= 2026.2.14` (planned next release)\n\n## Fix\n\nEnforce `rawCommand`/`command[]` consistency (gateway fail-fast + node host validation).\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n\n- cb3290fca32593956638f161d9776266b90ab891\n\n## Release Process Note\n\nThis advisory pre-sets the patched version to the planned next release (`2026.2.14`). Once `openclaw@2026.2.14` is published to npm, the advisory can be published without further edits.\n\nThanks @christos-eth for reporting.","aliases":["CVE-2026-26325"],"modified":"2026-02-20T16:57:58.364586Z","published":"2026-02-17T21:42:49Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed_at":"2026-02-17T21:42:49Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-02-19T23:16:25Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-284"],"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-h3f9-mjwj-w476"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-26325"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/cb3290fca32593956638f161d9776266b90ab891"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/releases/tag/v2026.2.14"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2026.2.14"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/02/GHSA-h3f9-mjwj-w476/GHSA-h3f9-mjwj-w476.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
