- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=total

## Affected

- openclaw: fixed in 2026.2.14
- openclaw (npm): fixed in 2026.2.14

## Description

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. In versions 2026.2.13 and below, when using macOS, the Claude CLI keychain credential refresh path constructed a shell command to write the updated JSON blob into Keychain via security add-generic-password -w .... Because OAuth tokens are user-controlled data, this created an OS command injection risk. This issue has been fixed in version 2026.2.14.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on openclaw, upgrade to a fixed version (2026.2.14) per the references below.
