GHSA-qc36-x95h-7j53 OpenClaw: Unrecognized script runners could bypass `system.run` approval integrity

• npm openclaw: < 2026.3.11 → fixed in 2026.3.11

Summary In affected versions of `openclaw`, node-host `system.run` approvals did not bind a mutable file operand for some script runners, including forms such as `tsx` and `jiti`. An attacker could obtain approval for a benign script-runner command, rewrite the referenced script on disk, and have the modified code execute under the already approved run context. Impact Deployments that rely on node-host `system.run` approvals for script integrity could execute rewritten local code after operator approval. This can lead to unintended local code execution as the OpenClaw runtime user. Affected Packages and Versions • Package: `openclaw` (npm) • Affected versions: `< 2026.3.11` • Fixed in: `2026.3.11` Technical Details The approval planner only tracked mutable script operands for a hardcoded set of interpreters and runtime forms. Commands such as `tsx ./run.ts` and `jiti ./run.ts` fell through without a bound file snapshot, so the final pre-execution revalidation step was skipped. Fix OpenClaw now fails closed for approval-backed interpreter and runtime commands unless it can bind exactly one concrete local file operand, and it extends direct-file binding coverage for additional runtime forms. The fix shipped in `[email protected]`. Workarounds Upgrade to `2026.3.11` or later.
