DescriptionCVE.org

OpenClaw before 2026.2.19 contains a local command injection vulnerability in Windows scheduled task script generation that allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands by injecting cmd metacharacters into unsafe gateway.cmd arguments. Attackers with control over service script generation values can inject unescaped metacharacters or expansion-sensitive characters to achieve unintended command execution in the scheduled task context.

AnalysisAI

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.19 contain a local command injection vulnerability in the Windows scheduled task script generation component. Attackers with low-level local privileges and control over service script generation values can inject cmd metacharacters into the gateway.cmd arguments to execute arbitrary commands with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is no indication of active exploitation (not in CISA KEV), but a patch commit is publicly available which may facilitate proof-of-concept development.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability affects OpenClaw (cpe:2.3:a:openclaw:openclaw:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), specifically the Windows scheduled task script generation mechanism that creates gateway.cmd files. The root cause is CWE-78 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command). When generating scheduled task scripts on Windows, the application fails to properly sanitize or escape user-controlled input before incorporating it into command-line arguments. This allows injection of cmd.exe metacharacters (such as &, |, ^, %, and others) and expansion-sensitive characters that can break out of the intended command context and execute arbitrary system commands when the scheduled task runs.

RemediationAI

Upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.2.19 or later, which contains the fix for this command injection vulnerability. The patch is available from the vendor and can be reviewed in commit 280c6b117b2f0e24f398e5219048cd4cc3b82396 at https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/280c6b117b2f0e24f398e5219048cd4cc3b82396. Consult the official security advisory at https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-mqr9-vqhq-3jxw for complete remediation guidance. As an interim mitigation until patching is completed, restrict local user access to systems running OpenClaw, implement strict controls over who can modify service script generation configurations, monitor scheduled task creation for suspicious command patterns, and apply principle of least privilege to limit the execution context of scheduled tasks.
