Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.14 contain a command hijacking vulnerability that allows attackers to execute unintended binaries by manipulating PATH environment variables through node-host execution or project-local bootstrapping. Attackers with authenticated access to node-host execution surfaces or those running OpenClaw in attacker-controlled directories can place malicious executables in PATH to override allowlisted safe-bin commands and achieve arbitrary command execution.

Affected products

• OpenClaw: before 2026.2.14 — fixed in 2026.2.14

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: OpenClaw 2026.2.14. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
