CVE-2026-26323
February 19, 2026
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.
