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.
