Summary
matchesExecAllowlistPattern normalized patterns and targets with lowercasing and compiled glob matching too broadly on POSIX. In addition, the ? wildcard could match /, which allowed matches to cross path segments.
Impact
These matching rules could overmatch allowlist entries and permit commands or executable paths that an operator did not intend to approve.
Affected versions
openclaw <= 2026.3.8
Patch
Fixed in openclaw 2026.3.11 and included in later releases such as 2026.3.12. Exec allowlist matching now respects the intended path semantics, and regression tests cover the POSIX case-folding and slash-crossing cases.
