DescriptionCVE.org

OpenClaw versions 2026.2.26 before 2026.3.1 contain a current working directory injection vulnerability in Windows wrapper resolution for .cmd/.bat files that allows shell execution fallback. Attackers can manipulate the current working directory to alter wrapper resolution behavior and achieve command execution integrity loss.

AnalysisAI

OpenClaw versions 2026.2.26 through 2026.3.0 contain a current working directory (CWD) injection vulnerability in the Windows wrapper resolution mechanism for .cmd and .bat files, allowing attackers with local access to manipulate CWD and achieve command execution with integrity compromise. An attacker with local privileges can alter the working directory to inject malicious wrapper scripts that execute instead of legitimate ones, bypassing command execution controls. The vulnerability requires local access and moderate complexity but enables high-integrity impact; no active KEV or widespread exploitation has been reported, but proof-of-concept details are documented in vendor security advisories.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability exists in OpenClaw's Windows shell wrapper resolution logic for batch and command files (.cmd/.bat). When OpenClaw resolves wrapper scripts on Windows, it searches the current working directory as part of its path resolution mechanism, consistent with CWE-426 (Untrusted Search Path). By manipulating the CWD before invoking OpenClaw operations, an attacker can place a malicious .cmd or .bat file in a predictable location that OpenClaw will execute instead of the legitimate system wrapper. This is a classic DLL/executable search-path hijacking pattern applied to batch script resolution. The affected product range spans OpenClaw versions before 2026.3.1 (cpe:2.3:a:openclaw:openclaw:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), with confirmed vulnerability in 2026.2.26 and later versions up to 2026.3.0.

RemediationAI

Upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.3.1 or later immediately, as the patch directly addresses CWD injection in wrapper resolution. For environments unable to patch immediately, restrict local user execution contexts and enforce strict working directory controls via Windows Group Policy (e.g., disable execution from user-writable directories, enforce AppLocker policies on .cmd/.bat execution, or run OpenClaw under a dedicated service account with minimal directory write permissions). Additionally, audit systems where untrusted local users can manipulate working directories before invoking OpenClaw operations. See vendor advisories at https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-6f6j-wx9w-ff4j for patch availability and detailed remediation guidance.
