NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openclaw package and not the openclaw package as distributed by Minimos. See How to fix? for Minimos:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.29 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the install helper that allows workspace .env files to override the npm_execpath configuration used for bundled runtime dependency installation. Attackers with workspace access can execute unintended local package-manager executables during dependency setup to compromise the build environment.
