  "details": "## Summary\n\nRemote iMessage attachment fetches used SCP with trust-on-first-use host-key behavior and accepted unvalidated remote host tokens.\n\nBefore the fix:\n- SCP used `StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new` in the remote attachment path.\n- `channels.imessage.remoteHost` was not validated as a strict SSH host token.\n\n## Impact\n\nIn remote iMessage deployments that use SCP attachment fetching, a first-connection MITM/DNS-poisoning scenario could cause the wrong host key to be trusted. Unsafe remote host token values could also alter SCP argument semantics.\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Latest published npm version currently affected: `2026.2.17`\n- Vulnerable range (structured field): `\u003c= 2026.2.17`\n- Patched version (pre-set for next release): `\u003e= 2026.2.19`\n\n## Fix\n\nThe fix hardens remote attachment SSH/SCP handling by:\n- requiring `StrictHostKeyChecking=yes` for SCP and SSH tunnel paths,\n- adding strict `remoteHost` normalization/validation,\n- adding `--` argument barrier for SCP remote source parsing,\n- validating `channels.imessage.remoteHost` in config schema,\n- rejecting unsafe auto-detected host tokens at runtime.\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n\n- Pushed to `main`: 49d0def6d1e88f002026b1d2a35aa615d48a751a\n\nOpenClaw thanks @allsmog for reporting.",
