openclawnpmDescription
Summary
Delivery queue recovery could lose group tool-policy context for media replay.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw - Ecosystem: npm
- Affected versions:
>= 2026.4.10 < 2026.4.14 - Patched versions:

Impact
Recovered queued outbound media could be replayed without the original session context needed to enforce group tool policy, weakening channel media restrictions after restart/recovery.
Technical Details
The fix persists and replays the relevant session context with delivery queue entries so recovered media dispatch goes through the same policy checks.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for openclaw, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update openclaw to 2026.4.14 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-43583 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
