CVE-2026-22169
Last modified
CVE-2026-22169 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.1/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22 contain an allowlist bypass vulnerability in the safeBins configuration that allows attackers to invoke external helpers through the compress-program option. When sort is explicitly added to tools.exec.safeBins, remote attackers can bypass intended safe-bin approval constraints by leveraging the compress-program parameter to execute unauthorized external programs.. EPSS estimates a 0.20% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
