Summary
OpenClaw may have stale policy enforcement for queued node actions
Details

Summary

Queued node actions were not revalidated against current command policy when later delivered, so stale allowlists or declarations could survive policy tightening.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected: < 2026.3.22
  • Fixed: >= 2026.3.22
  • Latest released tag checked: v2026.3.23-2 (630f1479c44f78484dfa21bb407cbe6f171dac87)
  • Latest published npm version checked: 2026.3.23-2

Fix Commit(s)

  • ec2c6d83b9f5f91d6d9094842e0f19b88e63e3e2

Release Status

The fix shipped in v2026.3.22 and remains present in v2026.3.23 and v2026.3.23-2.

Code-Level Confirmation

  • src/gateway/server-methods/nodes.ts now revalidates queued actions against the current allowlist and declared command set at delivery time.
  • src/gateway/server-methods/nodes.invoke-wake.test.ts includes the shipped stale-queue regression coverage.

OpenClaw thanks @zpbrent for reporting.
