OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot or Clawdbot) vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Affected versions:
< 2026.4.20 - Patched version:
2026.4.20
Impact
Workspace .env loading did not reserve the OPENCLAW_ runtime-control namespace broadly enough. A malicious workspace could set variables such as OPENCLAW_GIT_DIR before source-update or installer flows, potentially steering trusted OpenClaw runtime behavior.
This requires running OpenClaw from an attacker-controlled workspace. Severity is medium.
Fix
OpenClaw now reserves the workspace OPENCLAW_ environment namespace and rejects workspace dotenv entries for OpenClaw runtime-control variables.
Fix commit:
018494fa3ebb9145112e68b56fe1cb2e9f9a9ed6
Release
Fixed in OpenClaw 2026.4.20.
