Summary
OpenClaw: Node exec approvals could be replayed across nodes
Details
Summary
exec.approval requests for host=node were not explicitly bound to the target nodeId, so an approval intended for one node could be replayed for a different node under the same operator-controlled gateway fleet.
Impact
An operator approval for a system.run request could be reused across nodes if the request payload did not carry node identity through approval and execution checks.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Affected:
<= 2026.2.22-2 - Fixed:
2026.2.23(released)
Mitigation
Upgrade to 2026.2.23 or later once published.
Fix Details
The fix requires and persists nodeId for host=node approval requests and rejects execution when the approving node binding does not match the invoking node.
Fix Commit(s)
- 4a3f8438e527ac371a67fe7ac68a287f0dbe6063
Release Process Note
