Description

Duplicate Advisory: OpenClaw: MCP stdio server env could load dangerous startup variables from workspace config

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-mj59-h3q9-ghfh. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

OpenClaw before 2026.4.20 contains an improper environment variable validation vulnerability in MCP stdio server configuration that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code. Malicious workspace configurations can pass dangerous startup variables like NODE_OPTIONS, LD_PRELOAD, or BASH_ENV to spawned MCP server processes, enabling code injection when operators start sessions using those servers.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached with local access to the system, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. A user must be tricked into taking some action. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity high, availability high.

Weakness class

GHSA-p3m6-jr2h-hhxj is classified as CWE-829: Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere. Code is loaded from a source outside the product's control, so that source can change what runs.
