OpenClaw has a command injection in maintainer clawtributors updater

Summary

Command injection in the maintainer/dev script scripts/update-clawtributors.ts.

Impact

Affects contributors/maintainers (or CI) who run bun scripts/update-clawtributors.ts in a source checkout that contains a malicious commit author email (e.g. crafted @users.noreply.github.com values).

Normal CLI usage is not affected (npm i -g openclaw): this script is not part of the shipped CLI and is not executed during routine operation.

Affected Versions

• Source checkouts: tags v2026.1.8 through v2026.2.13 (inclusive)
• Version range (structured): >= 2026.1.8, < 2026.2.14

Details

The script derived a GitHub login from git log author metadata and interpolated it into a shell command (via execSync). A malicious commit record could inject shell metacharacters and execute arbitrary commands when the script is run.

Fix

• Fix commit: a429380e337152746031d290432a4b93aa553d55
• Planned patched version: 2026.2.14
