Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
Agent hook events could enqueue trusted system events from unsanitized external input.
## Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: `openclaw`
- Ecosystem: npm
- Affected versions: `< 2026.4.10`
- Patched versions: `>= 2026.4.10`
## Impact
Agent hook dispatch could turn externally supplied hook metadata into trusted system events, allowing untrusted input to enter the agent as higher-trust context.
## Technical Details
The fix sanitizes hook names and marks agent hook system events as untrusted before enqueueing them.

## Release Process Note
