Summary

Workspace .env can override the bundled plugin trust root

Current Maintainer Triage

• Status: open
• Normalized severity: high
• Assessment: v2026.3.28 still lets workspace .env override OPENCLAW BUNDLED PLUGINS DIR, but critical is too high because exploitation still depends on attacker-controlled workspace loading, not a universal remote break.
