SCA: security update for openclaw (GHSA-m7x8-2w3w-pr42)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437756
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Versions 2026.1.8 through 2026.2.13 have a command injection in the
maintainer/dev script `scripts/update-clawtributors.ts`. The issue affects contributors/maintainers (or
CI) who run `bun scripts/update-clawtributors.ts` in a source checkout that contains a malicious commit
author email (e.g. crafted `@users[.]noreply[.]github[.]com` values). Normal CLI usage is not affected
(`npm i -g openclaw`): this script is not part of the shipped CLI and is not executed during routine
operation. The script derived a GitHub login from `git log` author metadata and interpolated it into a
shell command (via `execSync`). A malicious commit record could inject shell metacharacters and execute
arbitrary commands when the script is run. Version 2026.2.14 contains a patch. (CVE-2026-26323)
