CVE-2026-44992
OpenClaw: Workspace dotenv MiniMax host override could redirect credentialed requests
Description
## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `>= 2026.4.5, < 2026.4.20` - Patched version: `2026.4.20` ## Impact A malicious workspace `.env` could set `MINIMAX_API_HOST` and redirect credentialed MiniMax requests to an attacker-controlled origin, exposing the MiniMax API key in the outbound `Authorization` header. This requires running OpenClaw from an attacker-controlled workspace. Severity is medium. ## Fix OpenClaw now blocks `MINIMAX_API_HOST` from workspace dotenv injection and removes env-driven URL routing from the affected MiniMax request path. Fix commit: - `2f06696579a1ab0cb5bbbbb6a900414a6b2e3cd1` ## Release Fixed in OpenClaw `2026.4.20`.
