Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A vulnerability was detected in PicoClaw up to 0.2.4. Impacted is an unknown function of the file /api/gateway/restart of the component Web Launcher Management Plane. Performing a manipulation results in command injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A command injection vulnerability exists in PicoClaw up to version 0.2.4 within the /api/gateway/restart endpoint of the Web Launcher Management Plane component. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary commands through this API endpoint.

MitigationImplement strict input validation and sanitization on the /api/gateway/restart endpoint to prevent command injection. Consider using parameterized commands or whitelist-based validation for any system commands executed by this functionality.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed PicoClaw version
    Locate the PicoClaw installation and check the version number in the software metadata, configuration file, or version banner. Common locations include the main application directory, a version info file, or the Web UI footer.
    Affected if The installed version is 0.2.4 or lower.
  2. Verify Web Launcher Management Plane component is active
    Confirm that the Web Launcher Management Plane component is running and accessible. Check the service status, enabled modules, or the list of active management interfaces.
    Affected if The Web Launcher Management Plane component is enabled and running.
  3. Confirm /api/gateway/restart endpoint exists
    Inspect the API routing configuration or attempt a local request to the /api/gateway/restart endpoint to verify it is registered and responding.
    Affected if The /api/gateway/restart endpoint is present and accessible.
  4. Check for unauthorized access or exploitation indicators
    Review access logs, command execution logs, or audit trails for the /api/gateway/restart endpoint. Look for unexpected or suspicious request patterns that may indicate command injection attempts.

You are affected if PicoClaw version 0.2.4 or lower is installed AND the Web Launcher Management Plane with the /api/gateway/restart endpoint is enabled and accessible.
