{"id":"GHSA-55cf-xx38-4p9p","summary":"OpenClaw: Workspace dotenv files cannot override connector endpoint hosts","details":"## Summary\nWorkspace dotenv files cannot override connector endpoint hosts.\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n- Package: openclaw (npm)\n- Affected versions: \u003c= 2026.4.21\n- Fixed version: 2026.4.22\n\n## Impact\nA workspace .env file could set connector endpoint variables for Matrix, Mattermost, IRC, or Synology-related connectors and redirect runtime traffic away from the operator-configured endpoint.\n\n## Fix\nWorkspace .env loading now blocks those endpoint variables, including per-account Matrix homeserver suffixes and generic base-url/API-host style overrides. Trusted global runtime dotenv loading remains separate.\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n- 0623079e98abf7202591f1b04a89755eb7ec9272\n\n## Verification\n- The fix commit is contained in the public v2026.4.22 tag.\n- openclaw@2026.4.22 is published on npm and the compiled package contains the fix.\n- Focused regression coverage for this path passed before publication.\n\nOpenClaw thanks @qi-scape for reporting.","aliases":["CVE-2026-45003"],"modified":"2026-05-19T16:11:26.923284Z","published":"2026-05-04T20:22:15Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-05-04T20:22:15Z","nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-427","CWE-610"],"severity":"MODERATE"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-55cf-xx38-4p9p"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-45003"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/0623079e98abf7202591f1b04a89755eb7ec9272"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-connector-endpoint-host-override-via-workspace-dotenv-files"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2026.4.22"}]}],"database_specific":{"last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c= 2026.4.21","source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/05/GHSA-55cf-xx38-4p9p/GHSA-55cf-xx38-4p9p.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
