Cline CLI Supply Chain Attack: Malicious Version 2.3.0 Installs OpenClaw Backdoor

Summary

Cline CLI version 2.3.0 was compromised in a supply chain attack that silently installed the OpenClaw framework, creating a persistent backdoor and exposing systems to remote code execution.

Take Action:

If you are using Cline, this is urgent: Check your developer environments for Cline version 2.3.0 and manually uninstall the OpenClaw package, as it persists even after Cline is updated. Always verify that your npm dependencies use OIDC-based trusted publishing to prevent unauthorized manual releases from reaching your production or development pipelines.
