Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.23

Description The software contains a validation bypass in the tools.exec.safeBins logic for the sort command. This bypass occurs when using GNU long-option abbreviations (such as --compress-prog) in allowlist mode, allowing execution paths that should require approval to run without it. The vulnerable component is the tools.exec.safeBins function.

Recommendations Update OpenClaw to version 2026.2.23 or later.
