Attackers can bypass security analysis by injecting $\\\\ followed by a newline and opening parenthesis inside double quotes, causing the shell to fold the line continuation into executable command substitution that circumvents approval boundaries.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":6.0},"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L","score":7.1},"cwes":["CWE-78"],"references":["https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/3f0b9dbb36c86e308267924c0d3d4a4e1fc4d1e9","https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-9868-vxmx-w862","https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-allowlist-bypass-via-shell-line-continuation-command-substitution-in-system-run"],"products":["openclaw:openclaw"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:26:19.218427112+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-28460","score":0.00456,"percentile":0.39613,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-9868-vxmx-w862","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-9868-vxmx-w862","summary":"OpenClaw's system.run allowlist bypass via shell line-continuation command substitution","modified":"2026-03-19T21:41:20.806988Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw","ranges":["<2026.2.22"],"fixed":["2026.2.22"]}]}],"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).
