Batch of 13 CVEs patched April 9-10, 2026. Includes CVE-2026-35639 (CVSS 8.7 privesc), CVE-2026-35641 (CVSS 8.4 arbitrary code exec), and OAuth PKCE verifier exposure.

Product Idea from this Signal

A CLI tool that validates OpenClaw workspace integrity and blocks .env injection, config poisoning, and prompt injection before the agent boots

1.7k

OpenClaw loads .env files from the current working directory before its trusted configuration, and trusts heartbeat context inheritance without proper validation. CVE-2026-41294 (CVSS 8.6) and CVE-2026-41329 (CVSS 9.9) exploit these pre-boot trust assumptions. With 138+ CVEs tracked in 63 days and 397-point HN posts calling the platform a security nightmare, operators need a pre-boot safety gate that catches workspace-level attacks before the agent gets any execution context.
