## Overview

## Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-24vr-rprv-67rf. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

## Original Description
OpenClaw before 2026.4.29 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the install helper that allows workspace .env files to override the npm_execpath configuration used for bundled runtime dependency installation. Attackers with workspace access can execute unintended local package-manager executables during dependency setup to compromise the build environment.

## Affected packages

- `openclaw < 2026.4.29`

## Remediation

Refer to the advisory for the patched release.
