BREW-openclaw-cli-CVE-2026-43528 — OpenClaw: config.get redaction bypass through sourceConfig and runtimeConfig aliases

Affected: Homebrew: openclaw-cli

## Summary

config.get redaction bypass through sourceConfig and runtimeConfig aliases.

## Affected Packages / Versions

- Package: `openclaw` - Ecosystem: npm - Affected versions: `< 2026.4.14` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.4.14`

## Impact

An authenticated gateway client with config read access could receive unredacted secrets through alias fields that survived redaction, including provider API keys, gateway auth material, and channel credentials.

## Technical Details

The fix explicitly overwrites `sourceConfig` and `runtimeConfig` with the same redacted copies used for `resolved` and `config`, including the invalid-snapshot branch. Tests now cover both alias fields.

## Fix

The issue was fixed in #66030. The first stable tag containing the fix is `v2026.4.14`, and `openclaw@2026.4.14` includes the fix.

## Fix Commit(s)

- `86734ef93a2f25063371b04f1946eb300548acd4` - PR: #66030

## Release Process Note

Users should upgrade to `openclaw` 2026.4.14 or newer. The latest npm release, `2026.4.14`, already includes the fix.
