Title

OpenClaw Affected by Unauthenticated Local RCE via WebSocket config.apply

Summary

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. Prior to 2026.1.20, 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. This vulnerability is fixed in 2026.1.20.

BREW-OPENCLAW-CLI-CVE-20… (GHSA-G55J-C2V4-PJCG)

Vulnerability from osv_homebrew – Published: 2026-08-13 17:21 – Updated: 2026-09-12 09:47 – Source website

Summary

OpenClaw vulnerable to Unauthenticated Local RCE via WebSocket config.apply

Details

Summary

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.

Impact

A local process on the same machine could execute arbitrary commands as the gateway process user.

Details

config.apply accepted raw JSON and wrote it to disk after schema validation.
cliPath values were not constrained to safe executable names/paths.
Command discovery used a shell invocation when resolving executables.

Mitigation

Upgrade to a patched release. If projects cannot upgrade immediately, set gateway.auth and avoid custom cliPath values.

Severity

8.4 (High)

A local process on the same machine could execute arbitrary commands as the gateway process user.

Details

config.apply accepted raw JSON and wrote it to disk after schema validation.
cliPath values were not constrained to safe executable names/paths.
Command discovery used a shell invocation when resolving executables.

Mitigation

Upgrade to a patched release. If projects cannot upgrade immediately, set gateway.auth and avoid custom cliPath values.

Severity

8.4 (High)
