Background

OpenClaw is a user-controlled local assistant designed to enhance user productivity by managing various tasks and plugins. It allows users to download and install plugins via the ClawHub package manager. However, the integrity verification for these downloads is not enforced, which raises security concerns regarding the authenticity and safety of the installed plugins.

Vulnerability Detail

The vulnerability arises from the lack of integrity verification for ClawHub package downloads in OpenClaw. This means that malicious or corrupted plugin archives could be installed without any checks on their integrity or authenticity. The absence of per-file integrity metadata poses a significant risk, as it allows for potential exploitation by attackers who could deliver harmful content disguised as legitimate plugins. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-353, indicating a failure to enforce proper integrity checks.
