OpenClaw: Empty approver lists could grant explicit approval authorization
Summary
Empty approver lists could grant explicit approval authorization.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw - Ecosystem: npm
- Affected versions:
< 2026.4.12 - Patched versions:
>= 2026.4.12
Impact
For helper-backed channels, an empty resolved approver list could be interpreted as explicit approval authorization, allowing a sender outside the normal channel authorization gate to resolve pending approvals if they knew an approval id.
Technical Details
The fix prevents empty approver lists from granting explicit approval authorization and adds regression coverage for unauthorized senders.
Fix
The issue was fixed in #65714. The first stable tag containing the fix is v2026.4.12, and openclaw@2026.4.14 includes the fix.

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