Summary

OpenClaw: Workspace dotenv MiniMax host override could redirect credentialed requests

Details

Affected Packages / Versions

Package: openclaw (npm)
Affected versions: >= 2026.4.5, < 2026.4.20
Patched version: 2026.4.20

Impact

A malicious workspace .env could set MINIMAX_API_HOST and redirect credentialed MiniMax requests to an attacker-controlled origin, exposing the MiniMax API key in the outbound Authorization header.

This requires running OpenClaw from an attacker-controlled workspace. Severity is medium.

Fix

OpenClaw now blocks MINIMAX_API_HOST from workspace dotenv injection and removes env-driven URL routing from the affected MiniMax request path.

Fix commit:

2f06696579a1ab0cb5bbbbb6a900414a6b2e3cd1

Release

Fixed in OpenClaw 2026.4.20.

Severity

6.8 (Medium)
