OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Versions 2026.1.8 through 2026.2.13 have a command injection in the maintainer/dev script `scripts/update-clawtributors.ts`. The issue 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. 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. Version 2026.2.14 contains a patch.

    ### 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 `v2026.1.8` through `v2026.2.13` (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` ### Credits Thanks @scanleale and @MegaManSec (https://joshua.hu) of [AISLE Research Team](https://aisle.com/) for reporting.
