Summary
OpenClaw: Host exec environment sanitization misses package, registry, Docker, compiler, and TLS override variables
Details

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)
