{"id":"CVE-2026-41295","aliases":["GHSA-2qrv-rc5x-2g2h"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-41295","summary":"OpenClaw < 2026.4.2 - Untrusted Workspace Channel Shadow Code Execution during Built-in Channel Setup","details":"## Summary\n\nBefore OpenClaw 2026.4.2, built-in channel setup and login could resolve an untrusted workspace channel shadow before the plugin was explicitly trusted. A malicious workspace plugin that claimed a bundled channel id could execute during channel setup even while still disabled.\n\n## Impact\n\nA cloned workspace could turn channel setup for a built-in channel into unintended in-process code execution from an untrusted workspace plugin. This bypassed the intended workspace-plugin trust boundary during setup and login.\n\n## Affected Packages / Versions\n\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Affected versions: `<= 2026.4.1`\n- Patched versions: `>= 2026.4.2`\n- Latest published npm version: `2026.4.1`\n\n## Fix Commit(s)\n\n- `53c29df2a9eb242a70d0ff29f3d1e67c8d6801f0` — ignore untrusted workspace channel shadows during setup resolution\n\n## Release Process Note\n\nThe 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.\n\nThanks @zpbrent for reporting.","published":"2026-04-20T23:08:09.503Z","modified":"2026-10-28T02:30:21.399953988Z","cvss":null,"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"openclaw","fixedVersion":"2026.4.2"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/53c29df2a9eb242a70d0ff29f3d1e67c8d6801f0","label":"openclaw/openclaw@53c29df"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/41xxx/CVE-2026-41295.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-2qrv-rc5x-2g2h"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-41295"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openclaw-untrusted-workspace-channel-shadow-code-execution-during-built-in-channel-setup"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/commit/53c29df2a9eb242a70d0ff29f3d1e67c8d6801f0"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-10-28T02:30:21.399953988Z"}}
