CVE-2026-43571

| Summary | OpenClaw: Channel setup catalog lookups could include untrusted workspace plugin shadows ## 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) - `1fede43b948df40ca8674511d4bd08d39f6c5837` - 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. ## Credits Thanks to @zsxsoft, with sponsorship from @KeenSecurityLab and @qclawer for reporting this issue. |
