Exploitation Status

No confirmed exploitation observed yet

  • CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
  • A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.
  • CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

Description

Summary

openclaw versions <= 2026.3.12 accepted unsanitized iMessage remote attachment paths when staging files over SCP, allowing shell metacharacters in the remote path operand.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected versions: <= 2026.3.12
  • Fixed version: 2026.3.13

Details

The vulnerable path was the remote attachment staging flow in src/auto-reply/reply/stage-sandbox-media.ts. When ctx.MediaRemoteHost was set, OpenClaw staged the attachment by spawning /usr/bin/scp against <remoteHost>:<remotePath>. In affected releases, the remote host was normalized but the remote attachment path was not validated for shell metacharacters before being passed to the SCP remote operand. A sender-controlled iMessage attachment filename containing shell metacharacters could therefore trigger command execution on the configured remote host when remote attachment staging was enabled.

This issue is in scope under OpenClaw's trust model because it crosses an inbound content boundary into host command execution on a configured remote attachment host.

Fix

[email protected] validates the SCP remote path before spawning scp. Current code calls normalizeScpRemotePath(...) and rejects paths containing shell metacharacters instead of passing them through to the remote shell.

Regression coverage exists in src/auto-reply/reply.stage-sandbox-media.scp-remote-path.test.ts (rejects remote attachment filenames with shell metacharacters before spawning scp).

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for openclaw, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update openclaw to 2026.3.13 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-g2f6-pwvx-r275 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Stop passing untrusted input into the interpreter or shell: call the affected binary with an argument array rather than a composed command string, reject anything outside a strict allowlist of expected values, and run the component under an account that cannot reach beyond the work it legitimately does.
