openclawnpmDescription
Summary
Host execution env sanitization did not block GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR or AWS_CONFIG_FILE, even though both can redirect trusted tooling to attacker-controlled content.
Impact
An approved exec request could redirect git or AWS CLI behavior through attacker-controlled configuration and execute untrusted code or load attacker-selected credentials.
Affected Component
src/infra/host-env-security-policy.json, src/infra/host-env-security.ts

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for openclaw, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update openclaw to 2026.3.28 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-41332 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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.
