Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.31

Description An incomplete host-env-security-policy.json fails to restrict compiler binary environment variables. This allows untrusted models to substitute CC, CXX, CARGO BUILD RUSTC, and CMAKE C COMPILER through environment overrides. Attackers with approved host-exec requests can override these compiler binaries to execute arbitrary code during build processes.
