Affected packages
• npm openclaw: < 2026.4.2 → fixed in 2026.4.2
Description
Summary
Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, the Gateway `connect` success snapshot exposed local `configPath` and `stateDir` metadata to non-admin clients. Low-privilege authenticated clients could learn host filesystem layout and deployment details that were not needed for their role.
Impact
A non-admin client could recover host-specific filesystem paths and related deployment metadata, aiding host fingerprinting and chained attacks. This was an information-disclosure issue, not a direct authorization bypass.
Affected Packages / Versions
• Package: `openclaw` (npm)
• Affected versions: `= 2026.4.2`
• Latest published npm version: `2026.4.1`
Fix Commit(s)
• `676b748056b5efca6f1255708e9dd9469edf5e2e` — limit connect snapshot metadata to admin-scoped clients
Release Process Note
The fix is present on `main` and is staged for OpenClaw `2026.4.2`. Publish this advisory after the `2026.4.2` npm release is live.
Thanks @topsec-bunney for reporting.
