Summary

OpenClaw has a CWD `.env` environment variable injection which bypasses host-env policy and allows config takeover

Details

Summary

OpenClaw loaded the current working directory .env before trusted state-dir configuration, allowing untrusted workspace state to inject host environment values.

Impact

A repository or workspace containing a malicious .env file could override runtime configuration and security-sensitive environment settings when OpenClaw started there.

Affected Component

src/infra/dotenv.ts, src/cli/dotenv.ts

Fixed Versions

Affected: <= 2026.3.24
Patched: >= 2026.3.28
Latest stable 2026.3.28 contains the fix.

Fix

Fixed by commit 6a79324802 (Filter untrusted CWD .env entries before OpenClaw startup).
