High (8.5) in openclaw openclaw. EPSS 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in openclaw 2026.3.28.
OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 loads the current working directory .env file before trusted state-dir configuration, allowing environment variable injection. Attackers can place a malicious .env file in a repository or workspace to override runtime configuration and security-sensitive environment settings during OpenClaw startup.
