Summary
OpenClaw: Skill env override host env injection via applySkillConfigEnvOverrides (defense-in-depth)
Details

Summary

applySkillConfigEnvOverrides previously copied skills.entries.*.env values into the host process.env without applying the host env safety policy.

Impact

In affected versions, dangerous process-level variables such as NODE_OPTIONS could be injected when unset, which can influence runtime/child-process behavior.

Required attacker capability

An attacker must be able to modify OpenClaw local state/config (for example ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json) to set skills.entries.<skill>.env or related skill config values.

Remediation

Fixed in 2026.2.21 by sanitizing skill env overrides and blocking dangerous host env keys (including NODE_OPTIONS) before applying overrides, with regression tests covering blocked dangerous keys.
