{"id":"CVE-2026-28391","details":"OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.2 fail to properly validate Windows cmd.exe metacharacters in allowlist-gated exec requests (non-default configuration), allowing attackers to bypass command approval restrictions. Remote attackers can craft command strings with shell metacharacters like & or %...% to execute unapproved commands beyond the allowlisted operations.","aliases":["GHSA-qj77-c3c8-9c3q"],"modified":"2026-03-14T12:48:56.374695Z","published":"2026-03-05T22:16:15.360Z","references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-qj77-c3c8-9c3q"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-command-injection-via-cmdexe-parsing-bypass-in-allowlist-enforcement"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/a7f4a53ce80c98ba1452eb90802d447fca9bf3d6"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"95cd2210f93d6ab2acc5e29dbad6065294365863"},{"fixed":"a7f4a53ce80c98ba1452eb90802d447fca9bf3d6"}],"database_specific":{"versions":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2026.2.2"}]}}],"versions":["v0.1.0","v0.1.1","v0.1.2","v0.1.3","v1.0.4","v1.1.0","v1.2.0","v1.2.1","v1.2.2","v1.3.0","v2.0.0-beta1","v2.0.0-beta2","v2.0.0-beta3","v2.0.0-beta4","v2.0.0-beta5","v2026.1.10","v2026.1.11","v2026.1.11-1","v2026.1.11-2","v2026.1.11-3","v2026.1.12","v2026.1.12-2","v2026.1.13","v2026.1.14-1","v2026.1.15","v2026.1.16-2","v2026.1.20","v2026.1.21","v2026.1.22","v2026.1.23","v2026.1.24","v2026.1.24-1","v2026.1.29","v2026.1.30","v2026.1.5","v2026.1.5-1","v2026.1.5-2","v2026.1.5-3","v2026.1.8","v2026.1.9","v2026.2.1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-28391.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X"}]}
