OpenClaw Nostr privateKey config redaction bypass leaks plaintext signing key via config.get
## Summary OpenClaw Nostr privateKey config redaction bypass leaks plaintext signing key via config.get ## Current Maintainer Triage - Status: open - Normalized severity: medium - Assessment: v2026.3.28 still models Nostr privateKey as plain string so config views can expose it, and the secret-schema fix is unreleased. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Latest published npm version: `2026.3.31` - Vulnerable version range: `<=2026.3.28` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.3.31` - First stable tag containing the fix: `v2026.3.31` ## Fix Commit(s) - `57700d716f660591fb6e09727f3ca8041fa48b9d` — 2026-03-31T19:55:03+09:00 ## Release Process Note - The fix is already present in released version `2026.3.31`. - This draft looks ready for final maintainer disposition or publication, not additional code-fix work. Thanks @ccreater222 for reporting.
