Remote command execution via incomplete shell denylist
Published May 27, 2026 · Updated May 27, 2026
OS command injection in Sipeed picoclaw 0.1.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands through ExecTool. The guardCommand() function compares input against only eight destructive-command patterns, then passes unmatched input to PowerShell or sh -c. ExecTool is enabled by default, and any remote channel permitted to send agent messages can reach host-shell execution.
