OpenClaw has Windows Lobster shell fallback command injection in constrained fallback path

Summary On Windows, the Lobster extension previously retried certain spawn failures ENOENT/EINVAL with shell: true for wrapper compatibility. In that fallback path, tool-provided arguments could be interpreted by cmd.exe if fallback was triggered. Affected Packages / Versions - Package: openclaw...

Incorrect Authorization

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via the system.run process. An attacker can execute unauthorized commands by bypassing allowlist restrictions through wrapper binaries such as env or shell-dispatc...

GHSA-JJ82-76V6-933R OpenClaw's exec allowlist wrapper analysis did not unwrap env/shell dispatch chains

Summary system.run exec allowlist analysis treated wrapper binaries as the effective executable and did not fully unwrap env/shell-dispatch wrappers. This allowed wrapper-smuggled payloads for example env bash -lc ... to satisfy an allowlist entry for the wrapper while executing non-allowlisted...

GHSA-W9CG-V44M-4QV8 OpenClaw affected by BASH_ENV / ENV startup-file injection into spawned shell commands

Summary BASHENV / ENV startup-file injection could lead to unintended pre-command shell execution when attacker-controlled environment values were admitted and then inherited by host command execution paths. Affected Packages / Versions - Package: openclaw npm - Affected: = 2026.2.19-2 - Fixed on...

Command Injection

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via the gateway.cmd script generation. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands by supplying specially crafted environment variable values containing Windows shell...

OpenClaw has macOS `system.run` allowlist bypass via quoted command substitution

Summary In OpenClaw's macOS node-host path, system.run allowlist parsing in security=allowlist mode failed to reject command substitution tokens when they appeared inside double-quoted shell text. Because of that gap, payloads like echo "ok $id" could be treated as allowlist hits first executable...

GHSA-5H2C-8V84-QPVR OpenClaw shell-env fallback trusted startup env and could execute attacker-influenced login-shell paths

Summary OpenClaw shell-env fallback trusted startup environment values and could execute attacker-influenced login-shell startup paths before loading env keys. Affected Packages / Versions - Package: openclaw npm - Affected versions: = 2026.1.5 and = 2026.2.21-2 - Fixed on main:...

Unsafe Dependency Resolution

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Unsafe Dependency Resolution via the shell-env process. An attacker can execute arbitrary binaries with the privileges of the affected process by influencing the $SHELL environment variab...

GHSA-P4WH-CR8M-GM6C OpenClaw: shell-env trusted-prefix fallback allowed attacker-controlled binary execution via $SHELL

Summary shell-env fallback trusted prefix-based executable paths for $SHELL, allowing execution of attacker-controlled binaries in local/runtime-env influence scenarios. Details In affected versions, shell selection accepted either: 1. a shell listed in /etc/shells, or 2. any executable under...

GHSA-H3RM-6X7G-882F OpenClaw's Node system.run approval hardening wrapper semantic drift can execute unintended local scripts

Summary In [email protected], node system.run approval-path hardening rewrote wrapper command argv in a way that changed execution semantics. A command shown/approved as a shell payload for example echo SAFE could execute a different local script when wrapper argv were rewritten. Affected Package...

GHSA-V47Q-JXVR-P68X Craft CMS Vulnerable to Authenticated RCE via "craft.app.fs.write()" in Twig Templates

Summary An authenticated administrator can achieve Remote Code Execution RCE by injecting a Server-Side Template Injection SSTI payload into Twig template fields e.g., Email Templates. By calling the craft.app.fs.write method, an attacker can write a malicious PHP script to a web-accessible...

WWBN AVideo is vulnerable to unauthenticated OS Command Injection via base64Url in objects/getImage.php

Impact An unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary OS commands on the server by injecting shell command substitution into the base64Url GET parameter. This can lead to full server compromise, data exfiltration e.g., configuration secrets, internal keys, credentials, and service disruption...

OpenClaw's system.run allowlist bypass via shell line-continuation command substitution

Summary In OpenClaw system.run allowlist mode, shell-wrapper analysis could be bypassed by splitting command substitution as $\ + newline + inside double quotes. Analysis treated the payload as allowlisted for example /bin/echo, while shell runtime folded the line continuation into $... and...

GHSA-F8MP-VJ46-CQ8V OpenClaw's shell env fallback trusts unvalidated SHELL path from host environment

The shell environment fallback path could invoke an attacker-controlled shell when SHELL was inherited from an untrusted host environment. In affected builds, shell-env loading used $SHELL -l -c 'env -0' without validating that SHELL points to a trusted executable. In threat-model terms, this...
