GHSA-hwpq-rrpf-pgcq OpenClaw: system.run approval identity mismatch could execute a different binary than displayed

• npm openclaw: < 2026.2.25 → fixed in 2026.2.25

Summary `system.run` approvals in OpenClaw used rendered command text as the approval identity while trimming argv token whitespace. Runtime execution still used raw argv. A crafted trailing-space executable token could therefore execute a different binary than what the approver saw. Affected Packages / Versions • Package: `openclaw` (npm) • Affected versions: `= 2026.2.25` Impact This is an approval-integrity bypass that can lead to unexpected command execution under the OpenClaw runtime user when an attacker can influence `command` argv and reuse/obtain a matching approval context. Trust Model Note OpenClaw does not treat adversarial multi-user sharing of one gateway host/config as a supported security boundary. This finding is still valid in supported deployments because it breaks the operator approval boundary itself (approved display command vs executed argv). Fix Commit(s) • `03e689fc89bbecbcd02876a95957ef1ad9caa176` Release Process Note `patched_versions` is pre-set to the release (`2026.2.25`). Advisory published with npm release `2026.2.25`. OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
