CVE-2026-43583 → View on GitHub ↗ View on CVE.org ↗ View on NVD ↗

Description

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

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.
