OpenClaw: Isolated cron awareness events were recorded as trusted system events
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: `openclaw` (npm)
- Affected versions: `< 2026.4.20`
- Patched version: `2026.4.20`
## Impact
Output from webhook-triggered isolated cron agent runs could be queued into the main session awareness stream without `trusted: false`. That made the event render as a trusted `System:` event instead of an untrusted system event.
This is a trust-labeling issue that can strengthen prompt-injection impact, but it does not directly bypass gateway auth, tool policy, or sandboxing. Severity is low.
## Fix
OpenClaw now preserves untrusted labels for isolated cron awareness events and forwards the trust flag through cron delivery helpers.
Fix commit:
- `f61896b03cc7031f51106a04566831f4ac2a0bd7`
## Release
Fixed in OpenClaw `2026.4.20`.
