Summary OpenClaw: Workspace dotenv could override runtime-control environment variables Workspace `.env` loading did not reserve the `OPENCLAW_` runtime-control namespace broadly enough. A malicious workspace could set variables such as `OPENCLAW_GIT_DIR` before source-update or installer flows, potentially steering trusted OpenClaw runtime behavior. This requires running OpenClaw from an attacker-controlled workspace. Severity is medium.
