CVE-2026-28363 PUBLISHED

Assigner: mitre
Reserved: 27.02.2026 Published: 27.02.2026 Updated: 27.02.2026

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.
