Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-02-19 23:16 - Updated: 2026-02-20 19:09
Severity ?
Summary
OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. OpenClaw macOS desktop client registers the `openclaw://` URL scheme. For `openclaw://agent` deep links without an unattended `key`, the app shows a confirmation dialog that previously displayed only the first 240 characters of the message, but executed the full message after the user clicked "Run." At the time of writing, the OpenClaw macOS desktop client is still in beta. In versions 2026.2.6 through 2026.2.13, an attacker could pad the message with whitespace to push a malicious payload outside the visible preview, increasing the chance a user approves a different message than the one that is actually executed. If a user runs the deep link, the agent may perform actions that can lead to arbitrary command execution depending on the user's configured tool approvals/allowlists. This is a social-engineering mediated vulnerability: the confirmation prompt could be made to misrepresent the executed message. The issue is fixed in 2026.2.14. Other mitigations include not approve unexpected "Run OpenClaw agent?" prompts triggered while browsing untrusted sites and usingunattended deep links only with a valid `key` for trusted personal automations.

"value": "OpenClaw es un asistente personal de IA. El cliente de escritorio de OpenClaw para macOS registra el esquema de URL \u0027openclaw://\u0027. Para los enlaces profundos \u0027openclaw://agent\u0027 sin una \u0027key\u0027 desatendida, la aplicaci\u00f3n muestra un cuadro de di\u00e1logo de confirmaci\u00f3n que anteriormente solo mostraba los primeros 240 caracteres del mensaje, pero ejecutaba el mensaje completo despu\u00e9s de que el usuario hac\u00eda clic en \"Ejecutar\". En el momento de escribir este documento, el cliente de escritorio de OpenClaw para macOS todav\u00eda est\u00e1 en beta. En las versiones 2026.2.6 a 2026.2.13, un atacante podr\u00eda rellenar el mensaje con espacios en blanco para empujar una carga \u00fatil maliciosa fuera de la vista previa visible, aumentando la probabilidad de que un usuario apruebe un mensaje diferente al que realmente se ejecuta. Si un usuario ejecuta el enlace profundo, el agente puede realizar acciones que pueden llevar a la ejecuci\u00f3n arbitraria de comandos, dependiendo de las aprobaciones/listas blancas de herramientas configuradas por el usuario. Esta es una vulnerabilidad mediada por ingenier\u00eda social: el aviso de confirmaci\u00f3n podr\u00eda hacerse para tergiversar el mensaje ejecutado. El problema est\u00e1 solucionado en la versi\u00f3n 2026.2.14. Otras mitigaciones incluyen no aprobar avisos inesperados de \u0027\u00bfEjecutar agente de OpenClaw?\u0027 activados al navegar por sitios no confiables y usar enlaces profundos desatendidos solo con una \u0027key\u0027 v\u00e1lida para automatizaciones personales confiables."
