CVE-2026-32056

OpenClaw < 2026.2.22 - Remote Code Execution via Shell Startup Environment Variable Injection in system.run

State: Published
Severity: 7.7 High
Published: Mar 21, 2026
Updated: Jun 23, 2026
Reserved: Mar 10, 2026

Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.22 fail to sanitize shell startup environment variables HOME and ZDOTDIR in the system.run function, allowing attackers to bypass command allowlist protections. Remote attackers can inject malicious startup files such as .bash_profile or .zshenv to achieve arbitrary code execution before allowlist-evaluated commands are executed.
