Summary

OpenClaw macOS companion app (beta): allowlist parsing mismatch for system.run shell chains

Details

Summary

In the macOS companion app (currently beta), a parsing mismatch in exec approvals could let shell-chain payloads pass allowlist checks in system.run under specific settings.

Impact

This path requires all of the following:

authenticated caller with operator.write
paired macOS beta node host
exec approvals set to security=allowlist and ask=on-miss

Under those conditions, a shell-chain command could be approved from an incomplete command view and then executed on the paired macOS host.

Default Install Status

Default installs are not affected.

Affected Packages / Versions

Package: openclaw (npm)
Affected: <= 2026.2.21-2
Patched (planned next release): >= 2026.2.22

Technical Details

The fix hardens macOS allowlist resolution by evaluating shell chains per segment and failing closed on unsafe shell-substitution parsing in allowlist mode.

Product Status Note

The affected macOS companion app path is currently in beta.
