Description

Duplicate Advisory: Command Injection via unescaped environment assignments in Windows Scheduled Task script generation

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-pj5x-38rw-6fph. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.19 contain a command injection vulnerability in Windows Scheduled Task script generation where environment variables are written to gateway.cmd using unquoted set KEY=VALUE assignments, allowing shell metacharacters to break out of assignment context. Attackers can inject arbitrary commands through environment variable values containing metacharacters like &, |, ^, %, or ! to achieve command execution when the scheduled task script is generated and executed.

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. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity high, availability low.

Weakness class

GHSA-82gw-wqw6-r2cf 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-82gw-wqw6-r2cf is recorded against 1 package.
