CVE-2026-22169
March 18, 2026
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.
Affected Packages
openclaw (NPM):
Affected version(s) >=0.0.1 <2026.2.22
Fix Suggestion:
