CVE-2026-31995: OpenClaw has Windows Lobster shell fallback command injection in constrained fallback path
(updated )
On Windows, the Lobster extension previously retried certain spawn failures (ENOENT/EINVAL) with shell: true for wrapper compatibility. In that fallback path, tool-provided arguments could be interpreted by cmd.exe if fallback was triggered.
