{"id":"GHSA-2qrv-rc5x-2g2h","summary":"OpenClaw: Untrusted workspace channel shadows could execute during built-in channel setup","details":"## Summary\n\nBefore OpenClaw 2026.4.2, built-in channel setup and login could resolve an untrusted workspace channel shadow before the plugin was explicitly trusted. A malicious workspace plugin that claimed a bundled channel id could execute during channel setup even while still disabled.\n\n## Impact\n\nA cloned workspace could turn channel setup for a built-in channel into unintended in-process code execution from an untrusted workspace plugin. This bypassed the intended workspace-plugin trust boundary during setup and login.\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Affected versions: `\u003c= 2026.4.1`\n- Patched versions: `\u003e= 2026.4.2`\n- Latest published npm version: `2026.4.1`\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n\n- `53c29df2a9eb242a70d0ff29f3d1e67c8d6801f0` — ignore untrusted workspace channel shadows during setup resolution\n\n## Release Process Note\n\nThe fix is present on `main` and is staged for OpenClaw `2026.4.2`. Publish this advisory after the `2026.4.2` npm release is live.\n\nThanks @zpbrent for reporting.","aliases":["CVE-2026-41295"],"modified":"2026-04-20T23:56:24.762445Z","published":"2026-04-07T18:15:41Z","database_specific":{"nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-829"],"severity":"MODERATE","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-04-07T18:15:41Z"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-2qrv-rc5x-2g2h"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/53c29df2a9eb242a70d0ff29f3d1e67c8d6801f0"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openclaw","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/openclaw"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2026.4.2"}]}],"database_specific":{"last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c= 2026.4.1","source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/04/GHSA-2qrv-rc5x-2g2h/GHSA-2qrv-rc5x-2g2h.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
