GHSA-49cg-279w-m73x OpenClaw: Empty approver lists could grant explicit approval authorization

• npm openclaw: < 2026.4.12 → fixed in 2026.4.12

Summary Empty approver lists could grant explicit approval authorization. Affected Packages / Versions • Package: `openclaw` • Ecosystem: npm • Affected versions: `= 2026.4.12` Impact For helper-backed channels, an empty resolved approver list could be interpreted as explicit approval authorization, allowing a sender outside the normal channel authorization gate to resolve pending approvals if they knew an approval id. Technical Details The fix prevents empty approver lists from granting explicit approval authorization and adds regression coverage for unauthorized senders. Fix The issue was fixed in #65714. The first stable tag containing the fix is `v2026.4.12`, and `[email protected]` includes the fix. Fix Commit(s) • `0a105c0900de701d2ee9f1abc96b017afbd0afdd` • PR: #65714 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 @anshumanbh for reporting this issue.
