OpenClaw: config.get redaction bypass through sourceConfig and runtimeConfig aliases
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
config.get redaction bypass through sourceConfig and runtimeConfig aliases.
## Affected Packages / Versions
- Package: `openclaw`
- Ecosystem: npm
- Affected versions: `< 2026.4.14`
- Patched versions: `>= 2026.4.14`
## Impact
An authenticated gateway client with config read access could receive unredacted secrets through alias fields that survived redaction, including provider API keys, gateway auth material, and channel credentials.
## Technical Details
The fix explicitly overwrites `sourceConfig` and `runtimeConfig` with the same redacted copies used for `resolved` and `config`, including the invalid-snapshot branch. Tests now cover both alias fields.
## Fix
The issue was fixed in #66030. The first stable tag containing the fix is `v2026.4.14`, and `[email protected]` includes the fix.
