OpenClaw: busybox and toybox applet execution weakened exec approval binding
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
busybox and toybox applet execution weakened exec approval binding.
## Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: `openclaw`
- Ecosystem: npm
- Affected versions: `>= 2026.2.23 < 2026.4.12`
- Patched versions: `>= 2026.4.12`
## Impact
Opaque multi-call binaries such as `busybox` and `toybox` could obscure which applet or script-like behavior would actually run, weakening exec approval binding and risk classification.
## Technical Details
The fix treats `busybox` and `toybox` as opaque mutable script runners and fails closed rather than binding unsafe applet invocations.
## Fix
The issue was fixed in #65713. The first stable tag containing the fix is `v2026.4.12`, and `[email protected]` includes the fix.
## Fix Commit(s)
- `666f48d9b882a8a1415ca53f9567c72499d850c9`
- PR: #65713
## Release Process Note
Users should upgrade to `openclaw` 2026.4.12 or newer. The latest npm release, `2026.4.14`, already includes the fix.
