CVE-2026-41384
OpenClaw < 2026.3.24 - Environment Variable Injection via Workspace Config in CLI Backend
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.24 contains an environment variable injection vulnerability in the CLI backend runner that allows attackers to inject malicious environment variables through workspace configuration. Attackers can craft malicious workspace configs to inject arbitrary environment variables into the backend process spawning, enabling code execution or sensitive data exposure.
