CVE-2026-41369 — OpenClaw < 2026.3.31 - Insufficient Environment Variable Sanitization in Host Execution

Affected: OpenClaw

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains insufficient environment variable sanitization in host exec operations, failing to filter package, registry, Docker, compiler, and TLS override variables. Attackers can exploit this by injecting malicious environment variables to override critical system configurations and compromise host execution integrity.

GHSA-cg7q-fg22-4g98 — OpenClaw: Host exec environment sanitization misses package, registry, Docker, compiler, and TLS override variables

Affected: npm: openclaw

## Summary Host exec environment sanitization misses package, registry, Docker, compiler, and TLS override variables

## Current Maintainer Triage - Normalized severity: medium - Assessment: v2026.3.28 also misses the broader package, registry, compiler, Docker, and TLS env family in the shipped host-env policy, and the unreleased main fix means this is a real medium-severity open issue.

## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Latest published npm version: `2026.3.31` - Vulnerable version range: `<=2026.3.28` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.3.31` - First stable tag containing the fix: `v2026.3.31`

## Fix Commit(s) - `eb8de6715f02949c21c4e895fffc8a6dcb00975c` — 2026-03-31T19:37:43+09:00
