BREW-openclaw-cli-GHSA-846p-hgpv-vphc — OpenClaw: QQ Bot structured payloads could read arbitrary local files

Affected: Homebrew: openclaw-cli

## Summary

Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, QQ Bot structured media payloads could read local files from attacker-chosen paths. A crafted structured payload could escape QQ Bot-owned media roots and cause arbitrary file reads on the host.

## Impact

Prompt-influenced structured payload output could exfiltrate any host file readable by the OpenClaw process through the QQ Bot media-send path. This was a real confidentiality bug on the host filesystem boundary.

## Affected Packages / Versions

- Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `<= 2026.4.1` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.4.2` - Latest published npm version: `2026.4.1`

## Fix Commit(s)

- `2c45b06afdd6f7c621038b5419d8e661cff34a7f` — restrict QQ Bot structured payload local paths

## 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.
