What is CVE-2026-32009?

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.24 are susceptible to a policy bypass vulnerability resulting from the safeBins allowlist evaluation system. This vulnerability inherently trusts static default directories, including writable paths from package managers such as /opt/homebrew/bin and /usr/local/bin. Attackers with write permissions in these trusted directories can exploit this flaw by placing a malicious binary named identically to an allowed executable. This can lead to arbitrary command execution within the OpenClaw runtime environment, posing significant security risks.
