OpenClaw Has Incomplete Fix for CVE-2026-4039: CLI Backend Environment Variable Injection via Workspace Config

Summary

Incomplete Fix for CVE-2026-4039: CLI Backend Environment Variable Injection via Workspace Config

Current Maintainer Triage

  • Status: open
  • Normalized severity: high
  • Assessment: Real shipped malicious-workspace-config env injection in the CLI backend runner, fixed by sanitizing backend env before spawn and shipped in v2026.3.24, so advisory stays open until published.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Latest published npm version: 2026.3.31
  • Vulnerable version range: <=2026.3.23-2
  • Patched versions: >= 2026.3.24
  • First stable tag containing the fix: v2026.3.24

Fix Commit(s)

  • c2fb7f1948c3226732a630256b5179a60664ec24 — 2026-03-24T12:58:10-07:00

Release Process Note

  • The fix is already present in released version 2026.3.24.
  • This draft looks ready for final maintainer disposition or publication, not additional code-fix work.

Thanks @YLChen-007 for reporting.
