Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in OpenClaw up to 2026.2.20 and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is an unknown part of the component systemd Unit File Generation. The manipulation of the argument environment with an unknown input leads to a command injection vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-77. The product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

OpenClaw version 2026.2.19-2 prior to 2026.2.21 contains a command injection vulnerability in systemd unit file generation where attacker-controlled environment values are not validated for CR/LF characters, allowing newline injection to break out of Environment= lines and inject arbitrary systemd directives. An attacker who can influence config.env.vars and trigger service install or restart can execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the OpenClaw gateway service user.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-32063 since 03/10/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. Local access is required to approach this attack.
