Summary Duplicate Advisory: OpenClaw: Windows media loaders accepted remote-host file URLs before local path validation ### Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-h3x4-hc5v-v2gm. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ### Original Description OpenClaw versions prior to commit b57b680 contain an approval bypass vulnerability due to inconsistent environment variable normalization between approval and execution paths, allowing attackers to inject attacker-controlled environment variables into execution without approval system validation. Attackers can exploit differing normalization logic to discard non-portable keys during approval processing while accepting them at execution time, bypassing operator review and potentially influencing runtime behavior including execution of attacker-controlled binaries.
