{"id":"CVE-2026-32000","aliases":["GHSA-7fcc-cw49-xm78"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-32000","summary":"OpenClaw < 2026.2.19 - Command Injection via Windows Shell Fallback in Lobster Tool Execution","details":"## Summary\n\nThe Lobster extension tool execution path used a Windows shell fallback (`shell: true`) after spawn failures (`EINVAL`/`ENOENT`). In that fallback path, shell metacharacters in command arguments can be interpreted by the shell, enabling command injection.\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Affected versions: `<= 2026.2.17`\n- Latest confirmed affected published version: `2026.2.17`\n- Patched version: `2026.2.19`\n\n## Technical Details\n\nIn affected releases (including `v2026.2.17`), `extensions/lobster/src/lobster-tool.ts` retried subprocess launch with `shell: true` on Windows for `EINVAL`/`ENOENT` spawn errors. The fix removes shell fallback and resolves Windows wrappers to explicit executable/script argv execution.\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n\n- `ba7be018da354ea9f803ed356d20464df0437916`\n\nOpenClaw thanks @allsmog for reporting.","published":"2026-03-19T01:00:57.057Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:34.328526792Z","cvss":null,"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","fixedVersion":"2026.2.19"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/ba7be018da354ea9f803ed356d20464df0437916","label":"openclaw/openclaw@ba7be01"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/32xxx/CVE-2026-32000.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-7fcc-cw49-xm78"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32000"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-command-injection-via-windows-shell-fallback-in-lobster-tool-execution"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/ba7be018da354ea9f803ed356d20464df0437916"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:34.328526792Z"}}
