## Summary Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, `pnpm dlx` approval planning did not bind local script operands the same way as related `pnpm exec` flows. A local script approved through a `pnpm dlx` path could be replaced before execution without invalidating the approval. ## Impact An operator could approve a benign local script and then execute modified script contents through the still-valid approval plan. This was an approval-integrity bug in the node-host command-planning path. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `<= 2026.4.1` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.4.2` - Latest published npm version: `2026.4.1` ## Fix Commit(s) - `176c059b05357df1bc09d4328a2380670859eeff` — bind local scripts in `pnpm dlx` approval plans ## Release Process Note The fix is present on `main` and is staged for OpenClaw `2026.4.2`. Publish this advisory after the `2026.4.2` npm release is live. Thanks @Kazamayc for reporting.
