OpenClaw: PIP_INDEX_URL and UV_INDEX_URL bypass host exec env sanitization and redirect Python package-index traffic

Summary

PIP_INDEX_URL and UV_INDEX_URL bypass host exec env sanitization and redirect Python package-index traffic

Current Maintainer Triage

• Status: narrow
• Normalized severity: high
• Assessment: v2026.3.28 still allows Python package-index env redirection through host exec, but scope should stay limited to approved or allowlisted package-management exec paths, not arbitrary remote execution.

Affected Packages / Versions

• Package: openclaw (npm)
• Latest published npm version: 2026.3.31
• Vulnerable version range: <=2026.3.28
• Patched versions: >= 2026.3.31
• First stable tag containing the fix: v2026.3.31
