It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-45004 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- openclaw (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 2026.4.23\n- openclaw (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 2026.4.23\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45004/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45004/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-45004","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45004/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-45004","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r39h-4c2p-3jxp","MINI-2x36-4vxc-94v7","MINI-4p6w-hxqw-vjc2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenClaw CLI tool","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary JavaScript by placing a malicious setup-api.js file in a directory, tricking users into running OpenClaw commands from that location.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[{"product":"openclaw","vendor":"openclaw"}],"cvss":{"score":8.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"OpenClaw before 2026.4.23 contains an arbitrary code execution vulnerability in the bundled plugin setup resolver that loads setup-api.js from process.cwd() during provider setup metadata resolution.
