Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in OpenClaw versions before 2026.2.19, specifically in the Lobster extension's Windows shell fallback mechanism. When the system tries to spawn a process and fails, it falls back to using the Windows shell (cmd.exe) with shell: true. In this fallback mode, arguments provided by the tool are interpreted by cmd.exe, which allows local operators to inject and execute arbitrary commands through parameters controlled by the workflow.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow a local operator with limited privileges to execute arbitrary commands on the affected system. This can lead to unauthorized actions such as modifying, deleting, or stealing data, disrupting system operations, or escalating privileges. The CVSS scores indicate a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
