Does this affect you?

It affects OpenClaw. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 loads the current working directory .env file before trusted state-dir configuration, allowing environment variable injection. Attackers can place a malicious .env file in a repository or workspace to override runtime configuration and security-sensitive environment settings during OpenClaw startup.
