Summary Duplicate Advisory: OpenClaw: Workspace dotenv could override runtime-control environment variables ### Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-hxvm-xjvf-93f3. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ### Original Description OpenClaw before 2026.4.20 fails to properly reserve the OPENCLAW_ runtime-control environment namespace in workspace dotenv files, allowing attackers to override critical runtime variables. Malicious workspaces can set variables like OPENCLAW_GIT_DIR to manipulate trusted OpenClaw runtime behavior during source-update or installer flows.
