  summary: OpenClaw Potential code execution via unsafe hook module path handling in Gateway
  details: >-
    Summary


    OpenClaw Gateway supports hook mappings with optional JavaScript/TypeScript transform modules. In affected versions, the
    gateway did not sufficiently constrain configured module paths before passing them to dynamic import(). Under some configurations,
    a user who can modify gateway configuration could cause the gateway process to load and execute an unintended local module.


    Impact


    Potential code execution in the OpenClaw gateway Node.js process.


    This requires access that can modify gateway configuration (for example via the gateway config endpoints). Treat such
    access as high privilege.


    Affected Packages / Versions


    - npm package: openclaw

    - Affected: >= 2026.1.5 and <= 2026.2.13


    Patched Versions


    - >= 2026.2.14


    Mitigation


    - Upgrade to 2026.2.14 or newer.

    - Avoid exposing gateway configuration endpoints to untrusted networks.

    - Review config for unsafe values:
      - hooks.mappings[].transform.module
      - hooks.internal.handlers[].module

    Thanks @222n5 for reporting.
