Overview
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.8.1 allow spreadsheet formula injection in attendance CSV exports. The flaw lets attackers craft cells that execute when opened in formula-enabled applications. This can lead to unintended code execution with the user’s permissions.
Description
OpenClaw versions before 2026.8.1 fail to neutralize spreadsheet formula characters in participant display names within attendance CSV exports. Attackers can inject formula-like cells that execute with spreadsheet user permissions when the export is opened in formula-enabled applications.
Impact
Confidentiality: malicious formulas can exfiltrate data. Integrity: injected formulas may alter or corrupt exported data. Availability: not directly impacted. Defenders: users who export and open CSV files in spreadsheet software.
Remediation
Upgrade OpenClaw to 2026.8.1 or later. If upgrade is not possible, sanitize participant names by escaping or removing leading '=', '+', '-', or '@' characters before export. Configure spreadsheet applications to disable automatic formula evaluation or import CSVs as plain text.
Risk context
The CVE has a medium severity score (5.4) and a very low EPSS of 0.00188, indicating a low likelihood of exploitation but still worth addressing to prevent potential data leakage or execution of malicious code.
