7.8 HIGHpublic exploit availablePublished 2026-09-30 · Updated 2026-10-01
AI risk analysis
- Summary
- ZeroClaw versions before 0.8.5 with the plugins-wasm feature allow attackers to install crafted plugins that can write arbitrary files to paths outside the plugins directory, leading to potential code execution.
- Exploitability
- Exploitation requires convincing users to install a crafted plugin. The attacker must have the ability to deliver and install the plugin.
- Blast radius
- If exploited, attackers could gain code execution capabilities, potentially leading to full system compromise.
- Detection
- No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.
- Prioritized remediation
- Upgrade to ZeroClaw 0.8.5 or later.

NVD description
ZeroClaw versions before 0.8.5 built with plugins-wasm feature contain a path traversal vulnerability in plugin installation that fails to validate the wasm_path manifest field. Attackers can convince users to install crafted plugins that write arbitrary files to paths outside the plugins directory, such as shell startup files, enabling code execution.
