CVE-2026-22169

MEDIUM

OpenClaw < 2026.2.22 - Allowlist Bypass via sort Configuration in safeBins

Title source: cna
STIX 2.1

Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22 contain an allowlist bypass vulnerability in the safeBins configuration that allows attackers to invoke external helpers through the compress-program option. When sort is explicitly added to tools.exec.safeBins, remote attackers can bypass intended safe-bin approval constraints by leveraging the compress-program parameter to execute unauthorized external programs.
