OpenClaw has Inconsistent Host Exec Environment Override Sanitization
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
Gateway host exec env override handling did not consistently apply the shared host environment policy, so blocked or malformed override keys could slip through inconsistent sanitization paths.
## Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: `openclaw` (npm)
- Affected: < 2026.3.22
- Fixed: >= 2026.3.22
- Latest released tag checked: `v2026.3.23-2` (`630f1479c44f78484dfa21bb407cbe6f171dac87`)
- Latest published npm version checked: `2026.3.23-2`
## Fix Commit(s)
- `7abfff756d6c68d17e21d1657bbacbaec86de232`
## Release Status
The fix shipped in `v2026.3.22` and remains present in `v2026.3.23` and `v2026.3.23-2`.
## Code-Level Confirmation
- src/infra/host-env-security.ts now provides one shared sanitizer and fail-closed diagnostics for blocked or malformed override keys.
- src/agents/bash-tools.exec.ts and src/node-host/invoke-system-run.ts both route env overrides through the shared sanitizer before execution.
OpenClaw thanks @zpbrent for reporting.
