Description

Summary Heartbeat owner downgrade missed local async exec completion events. Affected Packages / Versions • Package: `openclaw` • Ecosystem: npm • Affected versions: `>= 2026.3.31 = 2026.4.10` Impact Local background exec completion text could be missed by heartbeat owner-downgrade detection, leaving a run in a more privileged context than intended after untrusted completion content. Technical Details The fix expands exec-completion detection to local background exec formats and adds targeted tests. Fix The issue was fixed in #64376. The first stable tag containing the fix is `v2026.4.10`, and `[email protected]` includes the fix. Fix Commit(s) • `19a2e9ddb5a8a494abcba812bb11f51075026a27` • PR: #64376 Release Process Note Users should upgrade to `openclaw` 2026.4.10 or newer. The latest npm release, `2026.4.14`, already includes the fix. Credits Thanks to @zsxsoft, with sponsorship from @KeenSecurityLab and @qclawer for reporting this issue.
