Summary
OpenClaw: Workspace `.env` can override the bundled plugin trust root
Details

Summary

Workspace .env can override the bundled plugin trust root

Current Maintainer Triage

  • Status: open
  • Normalized severity: high
  • Assessment: v2026.3.28 still lets workspace .env override OPENCLAWBUNDLEDPLUGINS_DIR, but critical is too high because exploitation still depends on attacker-controlled workspace loading, not a universal remote break.
