GHSA-xf99-j42q-5w5p OpenClaw: Unbound interpreter and runtime commands could bypass node-host approval integrity

• npm openclaw: < 2026.3.11 → fixed in 2026.3.11

Summary In affected versions of `openclaw`, node-host `system.run` approvals could still execute rewritten local code for interpreter and runtime commands when OpenClaw could not bind exactly one concrete local file operand during approval planning. Impact Deployments using node-host `system.run` approval mode could approve a benign local script and then execute different local code if that script changed before execution. This can lead to unintended local code execution as the OpenClaw runtime user. Affected Packages and Versions • Package: `openclaw` (npm) • Affected versions: `<= 2026.3.8` • Fixed in: `2026.3.11` Technical Details The approval flow treated some interpreter and runtime forms as approval-backed even when it could not honestly bind a single direct local script file. That left residual approval-integrity gaps for runtime forms outside the directly bound file set. 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 best-effort direct-file binding for additional runtime forms. The fix shipped in `[email protected]`. Workarounds Upgrade to `2026.3.11` or later.
