Summary
OpenClaw: busybox and toybox applet execution weakened exec approval binding
Details
Summary
busybox and toybox applet execution weakened exec approval binding.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw - Ecosystem: npm
- Affected versions:
>= 2026.2.23 < 2026.4.12 - Patched versions:
>= 2026.4.12
Impact
Opaque multi-call binaries such as busybox and toybox could obscure which applet or script-like behavior would actually run, weakening exec approval binding and risk classification.
Technical Details
The fix treats busybox and toybox as opaque mutable script runners and fails closed rather than binding unsafe applet invocations.
Fix
The issue was fixed in #65713. The first stable tag containing the fix is v2026.4.12, and openclaw@2026.4.14 includes the fix.
Fix Commit(s)

Release Process Note
Users should upgrade to openclaw 2026.4.12 or newer. The latest npm release, 2026.4.14, already includes the fix.
