OpenClaw: Channel setup catalog lookups could include untrusted workspace plugin shadows
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
Channel setup catalog lookups could include untrusted workspace plugin shadows.
## Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: `openclaw`
- Ecosystem: npm
- Affected versions: `< 2026.4.10`
- Patched versions: `>= 2026.4.10`
## Impact
Channel setup could resolve a workspace plugin shadow before a bundled channel plugin, causing setup-time plugin loading without the intended trust gate.
## Technical Details
The fix routes setup catalog lookups through trusted catalog paths and uses `excludeWorkspace: true` where setup should not include workspace shadows.
## Fix
The issue was fixed in the advisory fix branch. The first stable tag containing the fix is `v2026.4.10`, and `[email protected]` includes the fix.
## Fix Commit(s)

- PR: private advisory fork
## Release Process Note
Users should upgrade to `openclaw` 2026.4.10 or newer. The latest npm release, `2026.4.14`, already includes the fix.
