Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A vulnerability was found in nextlevelbuilder GoClaw 3.11.3. Affected by this issue is the function ExecApprovalManager.CheckCommand of the file internal/tools/exec_approval.go. The manipulation results in incomplete blacklist. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A command approval bypass vulnerability exists in GoClaw 3.11.3 where the ExecApprovalManager.CheckCommand function uses an incomplete blacklist to filter commands, allowing attackers to bypass the restrictions by using variations or alternative commands not on the blocklist.

MitigationImplement a comprehensive allowlist approach for command validation or expand the blacklist to cover known bypass techniques, combined with input sanitization and validation testing.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify GoClaw installation and version
    Locate the GoClaw installation directory and check the version file or binary version information (e.g., goclaw --version, or check version.txt in the installation folder)
    Affected if The installed version is GoClaw 3.11.3 specifically
  2. Verify ExecApprovalManager module is active
    Check the GoClaw configuration files (e.g., config.yaml, config.json) for the ExecApprovalManager setting or module enablement status
    Affected if ExecApprovalManager or command approval feature is enabled in the configuration
  3. Inspect the command blacklist
    Locate and read the blacklist file or configuration setting used by ExecApprovalManager.CheckCommand (typically named blacklist.conf, blocked_commands.txt, or defined in the config under approval settings)
    Affected if The blacklist exists but contains a finite list of blocked commands without coverage of variations or alternative command forms
  4. Test for command variation bypass
    Attempt to execute known blocked commands using variations (e.g., alternative paths like /bin/sh instead of bash, or command aliases) through the ExecApprovalManager interface to see if approval is bypassed
    Affected if Commands not explicitly listed in the blacklist are accepted without requiring approval while similar commands on the blacklist do require approval

You are affected if GoClaw version 3.11.3 is installed with ExecApprovalManager enabled and the command validation relies on a blacklist that can be bypassed using alternative command forms.
