Summary

OpenClaw: macOS optional allowlist basename matching could bypass path-based policy

Details

Summary

On macOS node-host, optional exec-approval allowlist mode previously treated basename-only entries (for example echo) as trusted command matches. This could allow a same-name local binary (for example ./echo) to run without approval under security=allowlist + ask=on-miss.

Scope / Preconditions

macOS node-host path.
Optional exec approvals feature enabled with security=allowlist.
Basename-only allowlist entries configured.

Default install posture is not impacted: security=deny by default.

Affected Packages / Versions

Package: openclaw (npm)
Latest published npm version at triage time: 2026.2.21-2
Vulnerable range: <=2026.2.21-2
Planned patched version (next release): >= 2026.2.22

Remediation

Enforced path-only allowlist matching on macOS node-host (basename fallback removed).
Added migration for legacy basename allowlist entries to last-resolved paths when available.
UI/store validation now rejects non-path allowlist patterns.

Release Process Note

Patched version is pre-set for the planned next release (2026.2.22). Once that npm release is out, advisory can be published without further field edits.

OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
