Recommendation: Monitor — no exploitation signal at the moment.

OpenClaw before 2026.5.26 contains an insufficient sanitization vulnerability in the host environment sanitizer that allows Node.js control variables to bypass validation. Attackers with access to workspace .env files, tool environment overrides, or skill environment blocks can pass malicious Node.js control variables to influence child processes or coverage output paths.
