NVD description

In OpenClaw before 2026.2.23, tools.exec.safeBins validation for sort could be bypassed via GNU long-option abbreviations (such as --compress-prog) in allowlist mode, leading to approval-free execution paths that were intended to require approval. Only an exact string such as --compress-program was denied.

**CVE-2026-28363** pertains to a validation bypass in the OpenClaw software, specifically in versions prior to 2026.2.23. The core issue involves the `tools.exec.safeBins` validation logic for the `sort` command, which can be bypassed through the use of GNU long-option abbreviations (e.g., `--compress-prog`) in allowlist mode. This bypass allows attackers to execute commands without proper approval, potentially leading to arbitrary command execution. #Cybersecurity #CVE #CriticalCVE #CriticalVulnerability #RemoteCodeExecution https://cvetodo.com/cve/CVE-2026-28363
