Description

Summary

Collect-mode queue batches could reuse the last sender authorization context.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw
  • Ecosystem: npm
  • Affected versions: < 2026.4.14

Impact

Collect-mode queued messages from different senders could be drained as one batch using the final sender's authorization context, allowing earlier messages to inherit a more privileged context.

Technical Details

The fix splits collect-mode batches by sender authorization context before dispatch, preserving each message's own trust state.

Fix

The issue was fixed in #66024. The first stable tag containing the fix is v2026.4.14, and openclaw@2026.4.14 includes the fix.
