CVE-2026-25593
|
| Summary | OpenClaw vulnerable to Unauthenticated Local RCE via WebSocket config.apply ### Summary An unauthenticated local client could use the Gateway WebSocket API to write config via `config.apply` and set unsafe `cliPath` values that were later used for command discovery, enabling command injection as the gateway user. ### Impact A local process on the same machine could execute arbitrary commands as the gateway process user. ### Details - `config.apply` accepted raw JSON and wrote it to disk after schema validation. - `cliPath` values were not constrained to safe executable names/paths. - Command discovery used a shell invocation when resolving executables. ### Mitigation Upgrade to a patched release. If projects cannot upgrade immediately, set `gateway.auth` and avoid custom `cliPath` values. |
