{"id":"GHSA-xrgv-34cc-q765","summary":"Duplicate Advisory: OpenClaw's system.run allowlist bypass via shell line-continuation command substitution","details":"## Duplicate Advisory\n\nThis advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-9868-vxmx-w862. This link is maintained to preserve external references.\n\n## Original Description\nOpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22 contain an allowlist bypass vulnerability in system.run that allows attackers to execute non-allowlisted commands by splitting command substitution using shell line-continuation characters. Attackers can bypass security analysis by injecting $\\\\ followed by a newline and opening parenthesis inside double quotes, causing the shell to fold the line continuation into executable command substitution that circumvents approval boundaries.","modified":"2026-03-19T16:32:23.566661Z","published":"2026-03-19T03:30:57Z","withdrawn":"2026-03-19T16:25:35Z","database_specific":{"severity":"MODERATE","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-03-19T16:25:35Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-03-19T02:16:02Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-78"]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-9868-vxmx-w862"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-28460"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/3f0b9dbb36c86e308267924c0d3d4a4e1fc4d1e9"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-allowlist-bypass-via-shell-line-continuation-command-substitution-in-system-run"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"database_specific":{"last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c 2026.2.22","source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-xrgv-34cc-q765/GHSA-xrgv-34cc-q765.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X"}]}
