DescriptionNVD

OpenClaw before 2026.4.9 contains an environment variable injection vulnerability allowing malicious workspace .env files to set runtime-control variables. Attackers can inject variables affecting update sources, gateway URLs, ClawHub resolution, and browser executable paths to compromise application behavior.

AnalysisAI

Environment variable injection in OpenClaw npm package versions before 2026.4.9 allows local attackers with low privileges to compromise application behavior through malicious workspace .env files. Attackers can redirect update sources to serve backdoored packages, modify gateway URLs and ClawHub resolution endpoints to intercept traffic, and override browser executable paths to launch attacker-controlled binaries. …
