Executive Summary

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.15 have an option injection vulnerability in the git-hooks/pre-commit hook. This vulnerability allows attackers to stage files that are normally ignored by creating maliciously-named files that begin with dashes. Because the pre-commit hook does not use a -- separator when passing filenames through xargs to the git add command, attackers can inject git flags and add sensitive ignored files, such as .env files, into the git history.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can lead to the unintended inclusion of sensitive files in the git repository history. Attackers can exploit it to add ignored files containing sensitive information, such as environment variables or credentials, to the git history. This can result in exposure of confidential data, potentially leading to security breaches, data leaks, and unauthorized access.
