OpenClaw: Workspace dotenv MiniMax host override could redirect credentialed requests
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.
