    Action Type Old Value New Value
    Changed Description OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.15 contain an option injection vulnerability in the git-hooks/pre-commit hook that allows attackers to stage ignored files by creating maliciously-named files beginning with dashes. The hook fails to use a -- separator when piping filenames through xargs to git add, enabling attackers to inject git flags and add sensitive ignored files like .env to git history. Rejected reason: This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority.
