OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.19 contain a command injection vulnerability in the Lobster extension tool execution that uses Windows shell fallback with shell: true after spawn failures. Attackers can inject shell metacharacters in command arguments to execute arbitrary commands when subprocess launch fails with EINVAL or ENOENT errors.

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in OpenClaw ausnutzen, um beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen, sich erhöhte Berechtigungen zu verschaffen, Daten zu manipulieren, einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand auszulösen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen oder andere nicht näher spezifizierte Angriffe durchzuführen.
- GHSA-7fcc-cw49-xm78OpenClaw has command injection via Windows shell fallback in Lobster tool execution2026-03-03ghsa · osvUS
## Summary The Lobster extension tool execution path used a Windows shell fallback (`shell: true`) after spawn failures (`EINVAL`/`ENOENT`). In that fallback path, shell metacharacters in command arguments can be interpreted by the shell, enabling command injection. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.17` - Latest confirmed affected published version: `2026.2.17` - Patched version: `2026.2.19` ## Technical Details In affected releases (including `v2026.2.17`), `extensions/lobster/src/lobster-tool.ts` retried subprocess launch with `shell: true` on Windows for `EINVAL`/`ENOENT` spawn errors. The fix removes shell fallback and resolves Windows wrappers to explicit executable/script argv execution. ## Fix Commit(s) - `ba7be018da354ea9f803ed356d20464df0437916` OpenClaw thanks @allsmog for reporting.
