Last modified
CVE-2026-31994 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.19 contain a local command injection vulnerability in Windows scheduled task script generation due to unsafe handling of cmd metacharacters and expansion-sensitive characters in gateway.cmd files. Local attackers with control over service script generation arguments can inject arbitrary commands by providing metacharacter-only values or CR/LF sequences that execute unintended code in the scheduled task context.. EPSS estimates a 0.57% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
