GHSA-jx3c-247h-cxwp: Duplicate Advisory: OpenClaw: Workspace `.env` can override the bundled hooks root and load attacker hook code
(updated )
Duplicate Advisory
This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-3qpv-xf3v-mm45. This link is maintained to preserve external references.
Original Description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 allows workspace .env files to override the OPENCLAW_BUNDLED_HOOKS_DIR environment variable, enabling loading of attacker-controlled hook code. Attackers can replace trusted default-on bundled hooks from untrusted workspaces to execute arbitrary code.
