Summary
OpenClaw < 2026.4.2 - Untrusted Workspace Channel Shadow Code Execution during Built-in Channel Setup
Original description
The description as published by the source.
OpenClaw before 2026.4.2 contains an improper trust boundary vulnerability allowing untrusted workspace channel shadows to execute during built-in channel setup and login. Attackers can clone a workspace with a malicious plugin claiming a bundled channel id to achieve unintended in-process code execution before the plugin is explicitly trusted.
