GHSA-j5qh-5234-4rqp
### Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-99qw-6mr3-36qr. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ### Original 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.
