## Summary Host exec environment sanitization misses package, registry, Docker, compiler, and TLS override variables ## Current Maintainer Triage - Normalized severity: medium - Assessment: v2026.3.28 also misses the broader package, registry, compiler, Docker, and TLS env family in the shipped host-env policy, and the unreleased main fix means this is a real medium-severity open issue. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Latest published npm version: `2026.3.31` - Vulnerable version range: `<=2026.3.28` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.3.31` - First stable tag containing the fix: `v2026.3.31` ## Fix Commit(s) - `eb8de6715f02949c21c4e895fffc8a6dcb00975c` — 2026-03-31T19:37:43+09:00 OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
