GHSA-5wp8-q9mx-8jx8: zeptoclaw has Shell allowlist-blocklist bypass via command/argument injection and file name wildcards

March 5, 2026

zeptoclaw implements a allowlist combined with a blocklist to prevent malicious shell commands in src/security/shell.rs. However, even in the Strict mode, attackers can completely bypass all the guards from allowlist and blocklist:

  • to bypass the allowlist, command injection is enough, such as ;, $() etc.
  • to bypass the REGEX_BLOCKED_PATTERNS, argument injection is enough, such as the python3 -P -c "..."
  • to bypass the LITERAL_BLOCKED_PATTERNS, file name wildcards can do the work, such as cat /etc/pass[w]d
