Description
Summary
Workspace .env can override the bundled plugin trust root
Current Maintainer Triage
- Status: open
- Normalized severity: high
- Assessment: v2026.3.28 still lets workspace .env override OPENCLAW_BUNDLED_PLUGINS_DIR, but critical is too high because exploitation still depends on attacker-controlled workspace loading, not a universal remote break.

OpenClaw thanks @nexrin for reporting.
NVD description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 allows workspace .env files to override the OPENCLAW_BUNDLED_PLUGINS_DIR environment variable, compromising plugin trust verification. Attackers with control over workspace configuration can inject malicious plugins by overriding the bundled plugin trust root directory.
