Description
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.
