Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw
  • Ecosystem: npm
  • Affected versions: < 2026.4.10

Impact

The exec environment policy missed interpreter startup variables such as VIMINIT, EXINIT, LUA_INIT, and HOSTALIASES, allowing operator-supplied environment overrides to influence downstream execution or network behavior.
