Summary
Duplicate Advisory: OpenClaw vulnerable to arbitrary code execution via attacker-controlled setup-api.js loaded from cwd during env-key resolution
Details

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-r39h-4c2p-3jxp. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

OpenClaw before 2026.4.23 contains an arbitrary code execution vulnerability in the bundled plugin setup resolver that loads setup-api.js from process.cwd() during provider setup metadata resolution. Attackers can execute arbitrary JavaScript under the current user account by placing a malicious extensions//setup-api.js file in a repository and convincing a user to run OpenClaw commands from that directory.
