CWE-15Published: April 10, 2026· Updated: Apr 13, 2026
Official Description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains an environment variable override handling vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass the shared host environment policy through inconsistent sanitization paths. Attackers can supply blocked or malformed override keys that slip through inconsistent validation to execute arbitrary code with unintended environment variables.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-35650 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 8.8.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2026-35650. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
