Attackers can execute same-name local binaries ./echo without approval when security=allowlist and ask=on-miss are configured, bypassing intended path-based policy restrictions.","published":"2026-03-19T22:16:35.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T10:34:57.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"disclosure@vulncheck.com","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":7.3,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-426"],"affected":["openclaw/openclaw"],"epss":{"score":0.00126,"percentile":0.02304,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.13%).
