medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437819

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. In versions 2026.2.13 and below of the OpenClaw CLI, the process
cleanup uses system-wide process enumeration and pattern matching to terminate processes without verifying
if they are owned by the current OpenClaw process. On shared hosts, unrelated processes can be terminated
if they match the pattern. The CLI runner cleanup helpers can kill processes matched by command-line
patterns without validating process ownership. This issue has been fixed in version 2026.2.14.
