In versions 2026.2.13 and below of the OpenClaw CLI, the process cleanup uses system-wide process enumeration and pattern matching to terminate processes without verifying if they are owned by the current OpenClaw process. On shared hosts, unrelated processes can be terminated if they match the pattern. The CLI runner cleanup helpers can kill processes matched by command-line patterns without validating process ownership. This issue has been fixed in version 2026.2.14.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:H","score":4.3},"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","score":5.3},"cwes":["CWE-283"],"references":["https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/6084d13b956119e3cf95daaf9a1cae1670ea3557","https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/eb60e2e1b213740c3c587a7ba4dbf10da620ca66","https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/releases/tag/v2026.2.14","https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-jfv4-h8mc-jcp8"],"products":["openclaw:openclaw"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:24:17.937441719+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-27486","score":0.00323,"percentile":0.25309,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-jfv4-h8mc-jcp8","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-jfv4-h8mc-jcp8","summary":"OpenClaw: Process Safety - Unvalidated PID Kill via SIGKILL in Process Cleanup","modified":"2026-02-23T22:58:19.527857Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw","ranges":["<2026.2.14"],"fixed":["2026.2.14"]}]}],"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).
