OpenClaw before 2026.3.11 contains an exec allowlist bypass vulnerability where matchesExecAllowlistPattern improperly normalizes patterns with lowercasing and glob matching that overmatches on POSIX paths. Attackers can exploit the ? wildcard matching across path segments to execute commands or paths not intended by operators.
OpenClaw before 2026.3.11 contains an exec allowlist bypass vulnerability where matchesExecAllowlistPattern improperly normalizes patterns with lowercasing and glob matching that overmatches on POSIX paths. Attackers can exploit the ? wildcard matching across path segments to execute commands or paths not intended by operators.
### Summary `matchesExecAllowlistPattern` normalized patterns and targets with lowercasing and compiled glob matching too broadly on POSIX. In addition, the `?` wildcard could match `/`, which allowed matches to cross path segments. ### Impact These matching rules could overmatch allowlist entries and permit commands or executable paths that an operator did not intend to approve. ### Affected versions `openclaw` `<= 2026.3.8` ### Patch Fixed in `openclaw` `2026.3.11` and included in later releases such as `2026.3.12`. Exec allowlist matching now respects the intended path semantics, and regression tests cover the POSIX case-folding and slash-crossing cases.
OpenClaw anterior a 2026.3.11 contiene una vulnerabilidad de omisión de lista de permitidos de ejecución donde matchesExecAllowlistPattern normaliza incorrectamente patrones con minúsculas y coincidencia de glob que coincide en exceso en rutas POSIX. Los atacantes pueden explotar la coincidencia del comodín ? a través de segmentos de ruta para ejecutar comandos o rutas no previstos por los operadores.
