1) Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component (CVE-ID: N/A)
CWE-ID: CWE-74 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote user to alter OpenClaw runtime behavior.
The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of externally controlled input in workspace .env loading when processing a malicious workspace .env file. A remote user can supply a crafted .env file to alter OpenClaw runtime behavior.
2) Protection Mechanism Failure (CVE-ID: N/A)
CWE-ID: CWE-693 - Protection Mechanism Failure
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote user to read disallowed local files.
The vulnerability exists due to protection mechanism failure in browser interaction routes when triggering interaction-driven navigations into the local CDP origin. A remote user can cause navigation to the local CDP origin and then create or read disallowed file:// pages to read disallowed local files.
The issue occurs despite direct navigation guards.
3) Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere (CVE-ID: N/A)
CWE-ID: CWE-829 - Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote user to auto-enable an untrusted provider plugin.
The vulnerability exists due to inclusion of functionality from an untrusted control sphere in workspace provider auth choices when performing non-interactive onboarding during auth setup. A remote user can shadow a provider auth choice with an untrusted workspace plugin to auto-enable an untrusted provider plugin.
Untrusted workspace choices are involved only when they are not explicitly enabled.
