HIGHCVSS 7/10EPSS 0.53%

Last modified

CVE-2026-31995 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenClaw versions 2026.1.21 prior to 2026.2.19 contain a command injection vulnerability in the Lobster extension's Windows shell fallback mechanism that allows attackers to inject arbitrary commands through tool-provided arguments. When spawn failures trigger shell fallback with shell: true, attackers can exploit cmd.exe command interpretation to execute malicious commands by controlling workflow arguments.. EPSS estimates a 0.53% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
