Description

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` 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. Credits Thanks to @decsecre583 for reporting this issue.
