GHSA-m7x8-2w3w-pr42
No affected components available
Summary
Command injection in the maintainer/dev script scripts/update-clawtributors.ts.
Impact
Affects contributors/maintainers (or CI) who run bun scripts/update-clawtributors.ts in a source checkout that contains a malicious commit author email (e.g. crafted @users.noreply.github.com values).
Normal CLI usage is not affected (npm i -g openclaw): this script is not part of the shipped CLI and is not executed during routine operation.
Affected Versions
- Source checkouts: tags
v2026.1.8throughv2026.2.13(inclusive) - Version range (structured):
>= 2026.1.8, < 2026.2.14
Details
The script derived a GitHub login from git log author metadata and interpolated it into a shell command (via execSync). A malicious commit record could inject shell metacharacters and execute arbitrary commands when the script is run.
Fix
- Fix commit:
a429380e337152746031d290432a4b93aa553d55 - Planned patched version:
2026.2.14
