Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute an unintended binary.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled search path element in node host command execution when processing request-scoped PATH overrides in system.run. A remote user can supply a crafted PATH value and cause OpenClaw to execute an attacker-controlled executable to execute an unintended binary.
This scenario requires access to an execution surface that can invoke node-host execution, a connected node host exposing system.run, and a deployment where allowlist or safe-bin restrictions are relied upon.
