It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-41294 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- openclaw (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 2026.3.28\n- openclaw (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 2026.3.28\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-41294/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-41294/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-41294","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-41294/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-41294","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8rh7-6779-cjqq","MINI-7mxx-9jc2-5529"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenClaw CLI tool","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can inject environment variables via a malicious .env file to override security settings and potentially execute code during OpenClaw startup.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"misconfiguration"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[{"product":"openclaw","vendor":"openclaw"}],"cvss":{"score":8.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-15","name":"External Control of System or Configuration Setting"}],"description":"OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 loads the current working directory .env file before trusted state-dir configuration, allowing environment variable injection.
