## Impact Authenticated `/hooks/wake` and mapped `wake` payloads are promoted into the trusted `System:` prompt channel. An authenticated wake hook or mapped wake payload could be promoted into the trusted System prompt channel instead of an untrusted event. OpenClaw is a user-controlled local assistant. This advisory is scoped to the OpenClaw trust model and does not assume a multi-tenant service boundary. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `<= 2026.4.2` - Patched versions: `2026.4.8` ## Fix The issue was fixed on `main` and is available in the patched npm version listed above.
