Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-48wf-g7cp-gr3m. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.23 contain an allowlist bypass vulnerability in system.run guardrails that allows authenticated operators to execute unintended commands. When /usr/bin/env is allowlisted, attackers can use env -S to bypass policy analysis and execute shell wrapper payloads at runtime.
