EPSS · scored 2026-10-28

OpenClaw before 2026.4.14 contains a redaction bypass vulnerability that allows authenticated gateway clients to receive unredacted secrets through sourceConfig and runtimeConfig alias fields. Attackers with config read access can exploit this to obtain provider API keys, gateway authentication material, and channel credentials that should have been redacted.

    ## Summary config.get redaction bypass through sourceConfig and runtimeConfig aliases. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` - Ecosystem: npm - Affected versions: `< 2026.4.14` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.4.14` ## Impact An authenticated gateway client with config read access could receive unredacted secrets through alias fields that survived redaction, including provider API keys, gateway auth material, and channel credentials. ## Technical Details The fix explicitly overwrites `sourceConfig` and `runtimeConfig` with the same redacted copies used for `resolved` and `config`, including the invalid-snapshot branch. Tests now cover both alias fields. ## Fix The issue was fixed in #66030. The first stable tag containing the fix is `v2026.4.14`, and `openclaw@2026.4.14` includes the fix. ## Fix Commit(s) - `86734ef93a2f25063371b04f1946eb300548acd4` - PR: #66030 ## Release Process Note Users should upgrade to `openclaw` 2026.4.14 or newer. The latest npm release, `2026.4.14`, already includes the fix. ## Credits Thanks to @zsxsoft, with sponsorship from @KeenSecurityLab and @qclawer for reporting this issue.
