Summary
OpenClaw safeBins jq `$ENV` filter bypass allows environment variable disclosure
Details

Summary

The jq safe-bin policy blocked explicit env usage but still allowed jq programs that accessed environment data through $ENV.

Impact

An operator-approved safe-bin jq command could disclose environment variables that the safe-bin policy was supposed to keep out of scope.

Affected Component

src/infra/exec-safe-bin-semantics.ts

Fixed Versions

  • Affected: <= 2026.3.24
  • Patched: >= 2026.3.28
  • Latest stable 2026.3.28 contains the fix.

Fix

Fixed by commit 78e2f3d66d (Exec: tighten jq safe-bin env checks).

Thanks @nicky-cc of Tencent zhuque Lab (https://github.com/Tencent/AI-Infra-Guard) for reporting.

Severity
7.7 (High)
