GHSA-5gqg-mqh5-2v39

Duplicate Advisory: OpenClaw Windows Scheduled Task script generation allowed local command injection via unsafe cmd argument handling

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-mqr9-vqhq-3jxw. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.19 contain a local command injection vulnerability in Windows scheduled task script generation due to unsafe handling of cmd metacharacters and expansion-sensitive characters in gateway.cmd files. Local attackers with control over service script generation arguments can inject arbitrary commands by providing metacharacter-only values or CR/LF sequences that execute unintended code in the scheduled task context.
