Description

Summary

config.get redaction bypass through sourceConfig and runtimeConfig aliases.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw
  • Ecosystem: npm
  • Affected versions: < 2026.4.14
  • Patched versions: >= 2026.4.14

Impact

An authenticated gateway client with config read access could receive unredacted secrets through alias fields that survived redaction, including provider API keys, gateway auth material, and channel credentials.

Technical Details

The fix explicitly overwrites sourceConfig and runtimeConfig with the same redacted copies used for resolved and config, including the invalid-snapshot branch. Tests now cover both alias fields.

Fix

The issue was fixed in #66030. The first stable tag containing the fix is v2026.4.14, and openclaw@2026.4.14 includes the fix.
