CVE-2026-62203
OpenClaw versions before 2026.6.6 contain an environment variable filtering vulnerability in host exec that fails to properly sanitize rustup startup variables.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.53%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
