CVE-2026-28484
OpenClaw 2026.2.15 - Option Injection in pre-commit Hook via Malicious Filenames
Description
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.15 contain an option injection vulnerability in the git-hooks/pre-commit hook that allows attackers to stage ignored files by creating maliciously-named files beginning with dashes. The hook fails to use a -- separator when piping filenames through xargs to git add, enabling attackers to inject git flags and add sensitive ignored files like .env to git history.
