{"id":"GHSA-9r9j-3r2w-fg3v","summary":"Duplicate Advisory: OpenClaw: Workspace dotenv could override runtime-control environment variables","details":"### Duplicate Advisory\nThis advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-hxvm-xjvf-93f3. This link is maintained to preserve external references.\n\n### Original Description\nOpenClaw before 2026.4.20 fails to properly reserve the OPENCLAW_ runtime-control environment namespace in workspace dotenv files, allowing attackers to override critical runtime variables. Malicious workspaces can set variables like OPENCLAW_GIT_DIR to manipulate trusted OpenClaw runtime behavior during source-update or installer flows.","modified":"2026-05-11T16:35:32.194511Z","published":"2026-05-06T21:31:42Z","withdrawn":"2026-05-11T16:13:28Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-184"],"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-05-11T16:13:28Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-05-06T20:16:35Z"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-hxvm-xjvf-93f3"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-44114"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/018494fa3ebb9145112e68b56fe1cb2e9f9a9ed6"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-environment-variable-namespace-collision-via-workspace-dotenv"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2026.4.20"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/05/GHSA-9r9j-3r2w-fg3v/GHSA-9r9j-3r2w-fg3v.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X"}]}
