## Summary Before OpenClaw 2026.3.31, exec allowlist matching could treat shell init-file wrapper invocations as if the approved script itself were being executed. Shell options such as `--rcfile`, `--init-file`, and `--startup-file` could therefore inherit allowlist trust from a matched script path even though the shell loaded attacker-chosen initialization first. ## Impact This issue only applied when exec allowlist or allow-always behavior was enabled and the attacker could steer a shell-wrapper command shape that used init-file options. The result was a narrower allowlist bypass, not generic arbitrary command execution from an untrusted boundary. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `< 2026.3.31` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.3.31` - Latest published npm version: `2026.4.1` ## Fix Commit(s) - `0c8375424620e12777ef24c162eedc7e9fcfd7e3` — reject shell init-file script matches ## Release Process Note The fix shipped in OpenClaw `2026.3.31` on March 31, 2026.
