CVE-2026-35570

OpenClaude has Sandbox Bypass via Early-Exit Logic Flaw that Allows Path Traversal

Published Apr 20, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 8.4 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
OpenClaude is an open-source coding-agent command line interface for cloud and local model providers. Versions prior to 0.5.1 have a logic flaw in `bashToolHasPermission()` inside `src/tools/BashTool/bashPermissions.ts`. When the sandbox auto-allow feature is active and no explicit deny rule is configured, the function returns an `allow` result immediately — before the path constraint filter (`checkPathConstraints`) is ever evaluated. This allows commands containing path traversal sequences (e.g., `../../../../../etc/passwd`) to bypass directory restrictions entirely. Version 0.5.1 contains a patch for the issue.
