Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-31 23:57 – Updated: 2026-05-06 23:22

Summary

OpenClaw host-env blocklist missing `GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR` and `AWS_CONFIG_FILE` allows code execution via env override

Details

Summary

Host execution env sanitization did not block GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR or AWS_CONFIG_FILE, even though both can redirect trusted tooling to attacker-controlled content.

Impact

An approved exec request could redirect git or AWS CLI behavior through attacker-controlled configuration and execute untrusted code or load attacker-selected credentials.

Affected Component

src/infra/host-env-security-policy.json, src/infra/host-env-security.ts

Fixed Versions

Affected: <= 2026.3.24
Patched: >= 2026.3.28
Latest stable 2026.3.28 contains the fix.

Fix

Fixed by commit 6eb82fba3c (Infra: block additional host exec env keys).

OpenClaw thanks @nicky-cc of Tencent zhuque Lab https://github.com/Tencent/AI-Infra-Guard for reporting.

Severity

4.9 (Medium)

Title

OpenClaw < 2026.3.28 - Code Execution via Missing Environment Variable Blocklist

Summary

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains an environment variable sanitization vulnerability where GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR and AWS_CONFIG_FILE are not blocked in the host-env blocklist. Attackers can exploit approved exec requests to redirect git or AWS CLI behavior through attacker-controlled configuration files to execute untrusted code or load malicious credentials.
