OpenClaw versions before 2026.8.1 fail to neutralize spreadsheet formula characters in participant display names within attendance CSV exports. Attackers can inject formula-like cells that execute with spreadsheet user permissions when the export is opened in formula-enabled applications.
AnalysisAI
Spreadsheet formula injection in OpenClaw's attendance CSV export allows an attacker who controls a participant display name to embed formula payloads (cells beginning with =, +, -, @, tab or carriage return) that execute in the spreadsheet of anyone who opens the exported file in a formula-enabled application such as Excel or LibreOffice Calc, affecting all versions before 2026.8.1. Exploitation is unauthenticated per the supplied vectors (PR:N in both CVSS:4.0 and the assessed CVSS:3.1), but it is heavily gated: the attendance export must be generated, the attacker must control a name included in it, and a victim must open the CSV and permit formula evaluation. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires that the OpenClaw attendance CSV export feature is used, that an attacker can control a participant display name that gets included in the export, and - critically - that the operator opens the resulting CSV in a formula-enabled application (Excel, LibreOffice Calc) with automatic formula evaluation and without dismissing macro/formula-injection warnings. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuinely low-priority, high-nuance issue despite a 'medium' 5.3 score. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to OpenClaw 2026.8.1 or later; this is a vendor-released patch (fix version 2026.8.1) documented in the GHSA advisory at https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-39hf-qg99-f4qv and the VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-before-2026.8.1-csv-formula-injection-via-attendance-export. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
