What is CVE-2026-101884?

The OpenClaw Windows Node before version 2026.7.1 is vulnerable due to an insufficiently implemented environment-variable sanitizer within the system.run component. This flaw allows attackers with gateway or agent access to set environment variables such as GIT_CONFIG_, DOTNET_STARTUP_HOOKS, and JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS. By leveraging these variables, malicious users can execute arbitrary Code through trusted tools like git, dotnet, or java, potentially leading to severe security breaches.

Affected Version(s)

OpenClaw Windows Node 0 < 2026.7.1
