Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 16.03.2026 Published: 31.03.2026 Updated: 31.03.2026

OpenClaw before 2026.3.12 automatically discovers and loads plugins from .OpenClaw/extensions/ without explicit trust verification, allowing arbitrary code execution. Attackers can execute malicious code by including crafted workspace plugins in cloned repositories that execute when users run OpenClaw from the directory.
