{"id":"CVE-2026-32920","aliases":["GHSA-99qw-6mr3-36qr"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-32920","summary":"OpenClaw < 2026.3.12 - Arbitrary Code Execution via Auto-Discovery of Workspace Plugins","details":"### Summary\n\nOpenClaw automatically discovered and loaded plugins from `.openclaw/extensions/` inside the current workspace without an explicit trust or install step. A malicious repository could include a crafted workspace plugin that executed as soon as a user ran OpenClaw from that cloned directory.\n\n### Impact\n\nOpening or running OpenClaw in an untrusted repository could lead to arbitrary code execution under the user's account.\n\n### Affected versions\n\n`openclaw` `<= 2026.3.11`\n\n### Patch\n\nFixed in `openclaw` `2026.3.12`. Workspace plugin loading now requires explicit trusted state before execution. Users should update to `2026.3.12` or later and avoid running OpenClaw inside untrusted repositories on older releases.","published":"2026-03-31T11:17:14.583Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:26.928904014Z","cvss":null,"epss":{"score":0.00331,"percentile":0.26248,"asOf":"2026-09-17"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","fixedVersion":"2026.3.12"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/32xxx/CVE-2026-32920.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-99qw-6mr3-36qr"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32920"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-arbitrary-code-execution-via-auto-discovery-of-workspace-plugins"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/releases/tag/v2026.3.12"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:26.928904014Z"}}
