Summary OpenClaw has macOS `system.run` allowlist bypass via quoted command substitution In OpenClaw's macOS node-host path, `system.run` allowlist parsing in `security=allowlist` mode failed to reject command substitution tokens when they appeared inside double-quoted shell text. Because of that gap, payloads like `echo "ok $(id)"` could be treated as allowlist hits (first executable token `echo`) while still executing non-allowlisted subcommands through shell substitution.
