CVE-2026-43531 Details
Description
OpenClaw before 2026.4.9 contains an environment variable injection vulnerability allowing malicious workspace .env files to set runtime-control variables. Attackers can inject variables affecting update sources, gateway URLs, ClawHub resolution, and browser executable paths to compromise application behavior.
A vulnerability allowing environment variable injection has been identified in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.4.9.
