OpenClaw < 2026.5.26 - Insufficient Environment Variable Sanitization in Node.js Control Variables

OpenClaw before 2026.5.26 contains an insufficient sanitization vulnerability in the host environment sanitizer that allows Node.js control variables to bypass validation. Attackers with access to workspace .env files, tool environment overrides, or skill environment blocks can pass malicious Node.js control variables to influence child processes or coverage output paths.

OpenClaw < 2026.5.6 - Allowlist Bypass via Combined POSIX Inline Flags on macOS

OpenClaw before 2026.5.6 contains an allowlist bypass vulnerability in the macOS Swift exec feature that misses combined POSIX inline-command flags. Attackers can execute shell content outside the intended allowlist check by using combined flag forms, potentially allowing unauthorized command execution depending on operator configuration.

OpenClaw < 2026.4.2 - Shell Positional Parameters Bypass in Inline-Eval Checks

OpenClaw before 2026.4.2 contains an inline-eval bypass vulnerability allowing authenticated operators to weaken strict allowlist checks via shell positional parameters. Attackers can combine allowlisted tools with shell positional arguments to place inline-eval content in shell carriers outside intended allowlist rules, enabling execution of unapproved shell-provided content.

OpenClaw < 2026.5.26 - Exec Allowlist Bypass via Transparent Command Wrappers

OpenClaw before 2026.5.26 contains an exec allowlist bypass vulnerability allowing authenticated operators to execute wrapper-level side effects outside allowlisted command intent. Attackers can craft command requests that bypass allowlist validation by leveraging transparent command wrappers to perform unintended operations.

OpenClaw < 2026.4.8 - Remote Code Execution via Build Tool Environment Variable Injection

OpenClaw before 2026.4.8 contains a remote code execution vulnerability caused by missing environment variable denylist entries for HGRCPATH, CARGO_BUILD_RUSTC_WRAPPER, RUSTC_WRAPPER, and MAKEFLAGS. Attackers can inject malicious build tool environment variables to influence host exec commands and achieve arbitrary code execution.

OpenClaw < 2026.5.12 - Allowlist Bypass via PowerShell Encoded-Command Aliases

OpenClaw before 2026.5.12 contains an allowlist bypass vulnerability in PowerShell encoded-command handling that allows attackers to execute encoded commands using abbreviated flag aliases not recognized by the allowlist parser. Remote authenticated operators can bypass execution allowlist checks by using unrecognized encoded-command alias forms to execute arbitrary PowerShell content.

vm2: NodeVM builtin denylist bypass via process and inspector/promises allows host code execution

vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js. Prior to version 3.11.4, NodeVM blocks several dangerous Node.js builtins such as module, worker_threads, cluster, vm, repl, and inspector. However, the denylist misses process and inspector/promises. Both can be used from sandboxed code to reach host-side execution primitives. This allows sandboxed code to bypass the intended builtin restrictions and execute code in the host process. This issue has been patched in version 3.11.4.

chromium-browser: Inappropriate implementation in Safe Browsing

Inappropriate implementation in Safe Browsing in Google Chrome on Mac prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a malicious file. (Chromium security severity: Low)

Zed: Allowlist Bypass via Environment Variable Injection in Terminal Tool Permissions

Zed is a code editor. Prior to 0.229.0, Zed's terminal tool permission system can be bypassed by prepending environment variable assignments to allowlisted commands, hijacking program behavior (e.g., PAGER) to execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.229.0.

Zed: Allowlist Bypass via Bash Variable Expansion Chain in Terminal Tool Permissions

Zed is a code editor. Prior to 0.229.0, Zed's terminal tool permission system can be bypassed via bash variable expansion chaining (${var@P}), allowing arbitrary command execution under an allowlisted command prefix. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.229.0.

FastGPT: sandbox escape to RCE - code-sandbox regex /\bimport\s*\(/ is bypassable

FastGPT is an AI Agent building platform. Prior to 4.15.0-beta1, the JavaScript sandbox worker at projects/code-sandbox/src/pool/worker.ts:356 blocks dynamic import() with the regex /\bimport\s*\(/.test(code). JavaScript syntax accepts a block comment between import and (; the regex matches only ASCII whitespace, and the bytes /, *, *, / are not in the \s character class. The payload import/**/("child_process") parses as a syntactically valid dynamic import that the regex does not detect. Because import() is not wrapped by the safeRequire Proxy (which only proxies require), the attacker loads child_process and calls execSync - arbitrary command execution as uid=100(sandbox) inside the sandbox container. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.15.0-beta1.

IEC 60870-5-104 used in RTU500: Potential Denial of Service impact on reception of invalid U-format frame. Product is only affected if IEC 60870-5-104 bi-directional functionality is configured. Enabling secure communication following IEC 62351-3 does not remediate the vulnerability but mitigates the risk of exploitation.

OpenClaw < 2026.2.21 - Arbitrary File Read via grep -e Flag Policy Bypass

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.21 contain a stdin-only policy bypass vulnerability in the grep tool within tools.exec.safeBins that allows attackers to read arbitrary files by supplying a pattern via the -e flag parameter. Attackers can include a positional filename operand to bypass file access restrictions and read sensitive files.env from the working directory.

Privilege Escalation in Bookreen

Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs vulnerability in Unisign Bookreen allows Privilege Escalation. This issue affects Bookreen: before 3.0.0.

Gotenberg: ExifTool Dangerous Tag Blocklist Bypass via Group-Prefixed Tag Names Allows Arbitrary File Rename and Move

Gotenberg is a Docker-powered stateless API for PDF files. Prior to 8.31.0, Gotenberg only checks if the tag is exactly FileName, so System:FileName slips right through and ExifTool happily renames the file. This allows remote attackers to move, rename, and change permissions for arbitrary files. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.31.0.

Gotenberg: ExifTool group-prefix syntax bypasses dangerous-tag blocklist

Gotenberg is a Docker-powered stateless API for PDF files. Prior to 8.30.0, The ExifTool metadata write blocklist in Gotenberg can be bypassed using ExifTool's group-prefix syntax, enabling arbitrary file rename, move, hardlink, and symlink creation on the server. ExifTool supports group-prefix syntax where File:FileName is processed identically to FileName -- the prefix is stripped by SetNewValue in Writer.pl before tag matching. The safeKeyPattern regex (^[a-zA-Z0-9\-_.:]+$) allows colons, so prefixed tag names pass validation. Any prefix works: File:FileName, System:Directory, a:HardLink, etc. Additionally, FilePermissions, FileUserID, and FileGroupID pseudo-tags are not blocked at all and can modify file attributes without any prefix. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.30.0.

ssrfcheck: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs

ssrfcheck is a library that checks if a string contains a potential SSRF attack. In 1.3.0 and earlier, ssrfcheck fails to block Server-Side Request Forgery attacks when the target private IP address is encoded as an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address (e.g. http://[::ffff:127.0.0.1]/). The WHATWG URL parser built into Node.js silently normalizes the IPv4 notation inside the brackets to compressed hex form ([::ffff:7f00:1]) before the library's private-IP regex ever runs. The regex was written to match dot-notation only and therefore never matches any real input — all seven IANA private IPv4 ranges, including the AWS/GCP/Azure metadata address 169.254.169.254, are bypassed. Any application using isSSRFSafeURL() to guard HTTP requests made with user-supplied URLs is fully exposed to SSRF.

JunoClaw: plugin-shell shell-injection bypass via substring blocklist

JunoClaw is an agentic AI platform built on Juno Network. Prior to 0.x.y-security-1, substring-based blocklist in plugin-shell's command-safety check could be bypassed by adversarial argument constructions, allowing unauthorized command execution on the host when combined with the companion advisory. Pre-patch, the check was applied to the raw command string rather than the parsed first token. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.x.y-security-1.

OpenClaw < 2026.4.20 - Direct Message Misclassification in Feishu Card Actions

OpenClaw before 2026.4.20 contains a message classification vulnerability in Feishu card-action callbacks that misclassifies direct messages as group conversations. Attackers can bypass dmPolicy enforcement by triggering card-action flows in direct message conversations that should have been blocked by restrictive policies.

OpenClaw < 2026.4.23 - Unsafe Config Mutation via Gateway Tool Denylist Bypass

OpenClaw before 2026.4.23 contains an improper access control vulnerability in the gateway tool's config.apply and config.patch operations that allows compromised models to write unsafe configuration changes by bypassing an incomplete denylist protection. Attackers can persist malicious config modifications affecting command execution, network behavior, credentials, and operator policies that survive restart.
