Affected packages
• npm openclaw: < 2026.4.2 → fixed in 2026.4.2
Description
Summary
Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, `pnpm dlx` approval planning did not bind local script operands the same way as related `pnpm exec` flows. A local script approved through a `pnpm dlx` path could be replaced before execution without invalidating the approval.
Impact
An operator could approve a benign local script and then execute modified script contents through the still-valid approval plan. This was an approval-integrity bug in the node-host command-planning path.
Affected Packages / Versions
• Package: `openclaw` (npm)
• Affected versions: `= 2026.4.2`
• Latest published npm version: `2026.4.1`
Fix Commit(s)
• `176c059b05357df1bc09d4328a2380670859eeff` — bind local scripts in `pnpm dlx` approval plans
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.
