GHSA-m866-6qv5-p2fg
OpenClaw host-env blocklist missing `GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR` and `AWS_CONFIG_FILE` allows code execution via env override
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## 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`
## Fixed Versions
- Affected: `<= 2026.3.24`
- Patched: `>= 2026.3.28`
- Latest stable `2026.3.28` contains the fix.
## Fix
Fixed by commit `6eb82fba3c` (`Infra: block additional host exec env keys`).
