Summary Duplicate Advisory: OpenClaw: Exec environment denylist missed high-risk interpreter startup variables ### Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-vfp4-8x56-j7c5. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ### Original Description OpenClaw before 2026.4.10 contains an insufficient environment variable denylist vulnerability in its exec environment policy that allows operator-supplied overrides of high-risk interpreter startup variables including VIMINIT, EXINIT, LUA_INIT, and HOSTALIASES. Attackers can exploit this by manipulating these environment variables to influence downstream execution behavior or network connectivity.
