OpenClaw: Workspace provider auth choices could auto-enable untrusted provider plugins
## Summary Workspace provider auth choices could auto-enable untrusted provider plugins. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` - Ecosystem: npm - Affected versions: `< 2026.4.9` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.4.9` ## Impact Non-interactive onboarding could select a provider auth choice shadowed by an untrusted workspace plugin, auto-enabling that plugin during auth setup. ## Technical Details The fix prefers trusted provider origins for auth choices and excludes untrusted workspace choices unless they are explicitly enabled. ## Fix The issue was fixed in #62368. The first stable tag containing the fix is `v2026.4.9`, and `openclaw@2026.4.14` includes the fix. ## Fix Commit(s) - `2d97eae53e212ae26f3aebcd6a50ffc6877f770d` - PR: #62368 ## Release Process Note Users should upgrade to `openclaw` 2026.4.9 or newer. The latest npm release, `2026.4.14`, already includes the fix. ## Credits Thanks to @zpbrent for reporting this issue.
