Attackers can exploit this by invoking arbitrary payloads under the same multiplexer wrapper to satisfy stored allowlist rules, bypassing intended execution restrictions.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":7.1},"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N","score":7.1},"cwes":["CWE-184"],"references":["https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/a67689a7e3ad494b6637c76235a664322d526f9e","https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-gwqp-86q6-w47g","https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-exec-approval-bypass-via-unrecognized-multiplexer-shell-wrappers"],"products":["openclaw:openclaw"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:26:19.218427112+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-22175","score":0.00346,"percentile":0.28204,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-gwqp-86q6-w47g","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-gwqp-86q6-w47g","summary":"OpenClaw's exec allow-always can be bypassed via unrecognized multiplexer shell wrappers (busybox/toybox sh -c)","modified":"2026-03-18T01:56:22.858414Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw","ranges":["<2026.2.23"],"fixed":["2026.2.23"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
