OpenClaw < 2026.3.31 - Environment Variable Bypass in Package Index URL Handling

Title source: cna

Description

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 fails to properly sanitize PIP_INDEX_URL and UV_INDEX_URL environment variables in host execution contexts, allowing attackers to redirect Python package-index traffic.
