CVE-2026-24763Network attack vector

Authenticated command execution via interpolated PATH

Published Feb 2, 2026 · Updated Feb 2, 2026

Command injection in OpenClaw before 2026.1.29 allows remote authenticated users to execute unintended commands in Docker sandboxes. buildDockerExecArgs embedded the supplied PATH value inside a double-quoted export passed to sh -lc, allowing shell substitutions in the value to run. Docker sandbox mode and control of execution environment variables are required; commands run in the container, with host impact limited to privileged or misconfigured containers.
