OpenClaw: pnpm dlx approvals did not bind local script operands

Summary Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, pnpm dlx approval planning did not bind local script operands the same way as related pnpm exec flows. A local script approved through a pnpm dlx path could be replaced before execution without invalidating the approval. Impact An operator could approve a benign...

OpenClaw: Windows-compatible env override keys could bypass system.run approval binding

Summary Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, system-run approval binding normalized environment override keys differently from host execution. Windows-compatible keys could be omitted from the approval binding while still being injected at execution time. Impact An approved command could run with...

Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity

Overview openclaw is a 🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity due to inconsistent normalization of environment override keys between approval binding and execution time. An attacker can inject unauthorized...

GHSA-5HFF-46VH-RXMW OpenClaw: Read-scoped identity-bearing HTTP clients could kill sessions via /sessions/:sessionKey/kill

Summary Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, POST /sessions/:sessionKey/kill did not enforce write scopes in identity-bearing HTTP modes. A caller limited to read-only operator scopes could still terminate a running subagent session. Impact A read-scoped caller could perform a write-class control-plane...

GHSA-4P4F-FC8Q-84M3 OpenClaw: iOS A2UI bridge trusted generic local-network pages for agent.request dispatch

Summary Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, the iOS A2UI bridge treated generic local-network pages as trusted bridge origins. A page loaded from a local-network or tailnet host could trigger agent.request dispatch without the stricter trusted-canvas origin check. Impact A loaded attacker-controlled page...

GHSA-846P-HGPV-VPHC OpenClaw: QQ Bot structured payloads could read arbitrary local files
