Summary OpenClaw has incomplete Fix for CVE-2026-27486: Unvalidated SIGKILL in `!stop` Chat Command via `shell-utils.ts` The `!stop` (and `/bash stop`) chat command kills background bash processes using `SIGKILL` directly, without first sending `SIGTERM` to allow graceful shutdown. This is because `bash-command.ts` imports `killProcessTree()` from `src/agents/shell-utils.ts`, which still contains the pre-CVE-2026-27486 aggressive kill logic, rather than from the patched `src/process/kill-tree.ts`.
