OpenClaw: Workspace `.env` can override the bundled plugin trust root
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
Workspace `.env` can override the bundled plugin trust root
## Current Maintainer Triage
- Status: open
- Normalized severity: high
- Assessment: v2026.3.28 still lets workspace .env override OPENCLAW_BUNDLED_PLUGINS_DIR, but critical is too high because exploitation still depends on attacker-controlled workspace loading, not a universal remote break.
## Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: `openclaw` (npm)
- Latest published npm version: `2026.3.31`
- Vulnerable version range: `<=2026.3.28`
- Patched versions: `>= 2026.3.31`
- First stable tag containing the fix: `v2026.3.31`
## Fix Commit(s)
