OpenClaw gateway exec allow-always over-trusts positional carrier executables
## Summary Allow-always persistence could trust wrapper carrier executables instead of the actual invoked target when commands were routed through dispatch wrappers. ## Impact A one-time approval could persist a broader future allowlist entry than the operator intended, weakening execution approval boundaries. ## Affected Component `src/infra/exec-approvals-allowlist.ts` ## Fixed Versions - Affected: `<= 2026.3.24` - Patched: `>= 2026.3.28` - Latest stable `2026.3.28` contains the fix. ## Fix Fixed by commit `9ec44fad39` (`Exec approvals: reject wrapper carrier allow-always targets`).
