Description

OpenClaw Windows Node before 2026.7.1 contains an incomplete environment-variable sanitizer in system.run that fails to block GIT_CONFIG_*, DOTNET_STARTUP_HOOKS, and JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS variables. Attackers with gateway or agent access can supply these variables to allowlisted tools like git, dotnet, or java to load attacker-controlled code and achieve arbitrary code execution.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Vulnerability
  1. Detect

    Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`).

  2. Remediation status

    No fixed release is recorded for CVE-2026-101884 yet. Track the upstream advisory, and apply the exposure-reduction steps below in the meantime.

  3. Mitigate without a patch

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
