Description

Duplicate Advisory: OpenClaw Windows Scheduled Task script generation allowed local command injection via unsafe cmd argument handling

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-mqr9-vqhq-3jxw. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.19 contain a local command injection vulnerability in Windows scheduled task script generation due to unsafe handling of cmd metacharacters and expansion-sensitive characters in gateway.cmd files. Local attackers with control over service script generation arguments can inject arbitrary commands by providing metacharacter-only values or CR/LF sequences that execute unintended code in the scheduled task context.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached with local access to the system, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity high, availability high.

Weakness class

GHSA-5gqg-mqh5-2v39 is classified as CWE-78: OS Command Injection. Untrusted input reaches a shell command without neutralisation, so an attacker can run arbitrary operating system commands.

Affected software

GHSA-5gqg-mqh5-2v39 is recorded against 1 package.
