Summary

OpenClaw: Channel setup catalog lookups could include untrusted workspace plugin shadows

Details

Summary

Channel setup catalog lookups could include untrusted workspace plugin shadows.

Affected Packages / Versions

Package: openclaw
Ecosystem: npm
Affected versions: < 2026.4.10
Patched versions: >= 2026.4.10

Impact

Channel setup could resolve a workspace plugin shadow before a bundled channel plugin, causing setup-time plugin loading without the intended trust gate.

Technical Details

The fix routes setup catalog lookups through trusted catalog paths and uses excludeWorkspace: true where setup should not include workspace shadows.

Fix

The issue was fixed in the advisory fix branch. The first stable tag containing the fix is v2026.4.10, and openclaw@2026.4.14 includes the fix.

Fix Commit(s)

PR: private advisory fork

Release Process Note

Users should upgrade to openclaw 2026.4.10 or newer. The latest npm release, 2026.4.14, already includes the fix.

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-05-05 11:25 – Updated: 2026-05-05 11:58 X_Open Source

Title

OpenClaw < 2026.4.10 - Untrusted Workspace Plugin Shadow Resolution in Channel Setup

Summary

OpenClaw before 2026.4.10 contains a plugin trust bypass vulnerability that allows channel setup catalog lookups to resolve workspace plugin shadows before bundled channel plugins. Attackers can exploit this by crafting malicious workspace plugins that bypass intended trust gates during setup-time plugin loading.
