Summary

Channel setup catalog lookups could include untrusted workspace plugin shadows.

Affected Packages / Versions

• Package: openclaw
• Ecosystem: npm
• Affected versions: < 2026.4.10
• Patched versions: >= 2026.4.10

Impact

Channel setup could resolve a workspace plugin shadow before a bundled channel plugin, causing setup-time plugin loading without the intended trust gate.

Technical Details

The fix routes setup catalog lookups through trusted catalog paths and uses excludeWorkspace: true where setup should not include workspace shadows.

Fix

The issue was fixed in the advisory fix branch. The first stable tag containing the fix is v2026.4.10, and openclaw@2026.4.14 includes the fix.
