Overview

openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via the update-clawtributors.ts script. An attacker can execute arbitrary system commands by introducing a malicious commit author email that is processed and interpolated into a shell command when the script is run.

Note: This is only exploitable if the script is executed in a source checkout containing a crafted commit author email. Normal CLI usage is not affected.
