CVE-2026-32920 Details
Description
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.
A vulnerability in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.12 allows for arbitrary code execution through the automatic discovery and loading of plugins from the '.OpenClaw/extensions/' directory. This process occurs without any trust verification, enabling attackers to execute malicious code by including specially crafted workspace plugins in cloned repositories. The malicious code runs when OpenClaw is launched from the directory containing the compromised repository.
Users are advised to update OpenClaw to version 2026.3.12 or later. After updating, it is recommended to avoid running OpenClaw in untrusted repositories.
