OpenClaw / Clawdbot / Moltbot < 2026.1.20 Command Injection (GHSA-g55j-c2v4-pjcg)

high Nessus Plugin ID 298465

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a command injection vulnerability.

Description

The version of OpenClaw / Clawdbot / Moltbot installed on the remote host is prior to 2026.1.20. It is, therefore, affected by a command injection vulnerability:

 - An unauthenticated local client could use the Gateway WebSocket API to write config via config.apply and set unsafe cliPath values that were later used for command discovery, enabling command injection as the gateway user.
 (CVE-2026-25593)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to OpenClaw / Clawdbot / Moltbot version 2026.1.20 or later.
