We only have chipboard on the walls today, yep that's right. The wallpaper on them has cracked here and there, especially over doors and windows where the previous owner thought it was a good idea to seam the boards along the frame.
Therefore, I now want to cover the walls with an additional layer of drywall on top of the chipboard, but there aren't studs behind every place where I might need to screw. I also don't want to risk puncturing the plastic too much on the exterior walls.
Can I screw the drywall directly into the chipboard in these places? Maybe some glue?

It works fine to screw it up like that. In your case with particleboard, I would probably use a few fewer screws of shorter length and glue a part so that you don't have to risk puncturing the vapor barrier too much... particleboard can be difficult to get a good grip with short screws that don't go all the way through...
I've used this cartridge glue from Biltema quite a bit, not bad at all for sheet material...and it's cheap, you need a lot of glue...
it also works with regular white glue in a bottle, but it's hard to apply and is runny.
then you have pl 600 and all the wobbly glues....
