CVE-2026-31995 is a command injection vulnerability affecting OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.19 on Microsoft Windows, specifically within the Lobster extension's shell fallback mechanism. Attackers with low privileges can exploit this by injecting arbitrary commands via tool-provided arguments, leveraging cmd.exe interpretation when spawn failures trigger a shell fallback, leading to high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite its CVSS score of 7.0 HIGH, the attack complexity is high, and there is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community attention.
