Description
Summary
SSH-based sandbox backends pass unsanitized process.env to child processes
Current Maintainer Triage
• Status: narrow
• Normalized severity: low
• Assessment: Shipped SSH sandbox paths leaked unsanitized env into local SSH child processes, but remote leakage needs non-default SSH env forwarding, so lower to low.
Affected Packages / Versions
• Package: `openclaw` (npm)
• Latest published npm version: `2026.3.31`
• Vulnerable version range: `= 2026.3.31`
• First stable tag containing the fix: `v2026.3.31`
