{"id":"CVE-2026-26323","state":"PUBLISHED","title":"OpenClaw has a command injection in maintainer clawtributors updater","description":"OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Versions 2026.1.8 through 2026.2.13 have a command injection in the maintainer/dev script `scripts/update-clawtributors.ts`. The issue affects contributors/maintainers (or CI) who run `bun scripts/update-clawtributors.ts` in a source checkout that contains a malicious commit author email (e.g. crafted `@users[.]noreply[.]github[.]com` values). Normal CLI usage is not affected (`npm i -g openclaw`): this script is not part of the shipped CLI and is not executed during routine operation. The script derived a GitHub login from `git log` author metadata and interpolated it into a shell command (via `execSync`). A malicious commit record could inject shell metacharacters and execute arbitrary commands when the script is run. Version 2026.2.14 contains a patch.","publishedAt":"2026-02-19T22:47:47.978Z","updatedAt":"2026-02-20T15:40:16.815Z","severity":{"score":8.6,"label":"High","version":"4.0","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","source":"GitHub_M"},"assigner":"GitHub_M","products":["openclaw openclaw"],"affected":[{"vendor":"openclaw","product":"openclaw","versions":[{"version":">= 2026.1.8, < 2026.2.14","status":"affected"}]}],"references":["https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-m7x8-2w3w-pr42","https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/a429380e337152746031d290432a4b93aa553d55","https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/releases/tag/v2026.2.14"],"weaknesses":["CWE-78"],"ingestedAt":"2026-10-29T20:11:21.040Z","source":{"repository":"CVEProject/cvelistV5","path":"cves/2026/26xxx/CVE-2026-26323.json","commit":"556c9d3a8cd17e218bb8e452ba7cd619a384ff47"},"raw":{"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.2","cveMetadata":{"cveId":"CVE-2026-26323","state":"PUBLISHED","datePublished":"2026-02-19T22:47:47.978Z","dateUpdated":"2026-02-20T15:40:16.815Z","assignerShortName":"GitHub_M","assignerOrgId":"a0819718-46f1-4df5-94e2-005712e83aaa","dateReserved":"2026-02-13T16:27:51.808Z"},"containers":{"cna":{"title":"OpenClaw has a command injection in maintainer clawtributors updater","descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant.
