OpenClaw: Host exec environment sanitization misses package, registry, Docker, compiler, and TLS override variables
Summary
Host exec environment sanitization misses package, registry, Docker, compiler, and TLS override variables
Current Maintainer Triage
- Normalized severity: medium
- Assessment: v2026.3.28 also misses the broader package, registry, compiler, Docker, and TLS env family in the shipped host-env policy, and the unreleased main fix means this is a real medium-severity open issue.
