2DescriptionNVD
OpenClaw before 2026.4.2 contains an improper trust boundary vulnerability allowing untrusted workspace channel shadows to execute during built-in channel setup and login. Attackers can clone a workspace with a malicious plugin claiming a bundled channel id to achieve unintended in-process code execution before the plugin is explicitly trusted.
AnalysisAI
Malicious workspace plugins in OpenClaw versions before 2026.4.2 achieve arbitrary code execution by shadowing built-in channel IDs during workspace clone and setup operations. The vulnerability exploits a trust boundary flaw (CWE-829) where untrusted plugins execute before explicit user trust confirmation, requiring only that a victim clone a poisoned workspace repository. …

RemediationAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all OpenClaw installations and verify versions currently deployed; notify users not to open untrusted or cloned workspaces pending remediation. Within 7 days: Apply vendor patch by updating to OpenClaw 2026.4.2 or later, or manually apply GitHub commit 53c29df if immediate upgrade is not feasible; test patched version in non-production environment first. …
