Description

Summary

exec.approval requests for host=node were not explicitly bound to the target nodeId, so an approval intended for one node could be replayed for a different node under the same operator-controlled gateway fleet.

Impact

An operator approval for a system.run request could be reused across nodes if the request payload did not carry node identity through approval and execution checks.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected: <= 2026.2.22-2
  • Fixed: 2026.2.23 (released)

Mitigation

Upgrade to 2026.2.23 or later once published.

Fix Details

The fix requires and persists nodeId for host=node approval requests and rejects execution when the approving node binding does not match the invoking node.
