Lifecycle Timeline
4Description
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.
Analysis
OpenClaw versions before 2026.2.19 allow local authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands by injecting shell metacharacters into environment variable values during Windows Scheduled Task script generation. The vulnerability stems from unquoted variable assignments in gateway.cmd that fail to sanitize special characters like &, |, ^, %, and !, enabling command injection when the task script runs. …
