Summary
OpenClaw's Conflicting Tool Identity Hints Bypass Dangerous-Tool Prompting
Details

Summary

ACP permission resolution trusted conflicting tool identity hints from rawInput and metadata, which could suppress dangerous-tool prompting.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected: < 2026.3.22
  • Fixed: >= 2026.3.22
  • Latest released tag checked: v2026.3.23-2 (630f1479c44f78484dfa21bb407cbe6f171dac87)
  • Latest published npm version checked: 2026.3.23-2

Fix Commit(s)

  • e4c61723cd2d530680cc61789311d464ab8cdf60

Release Status

The fix shipped in v2026.3.22 and remains present in v2026.3.23 and v2026.3.23-2.

Code-Level Confirmation

  • src/acp/client.ts now fails closed when meta, rawInput, and title tool identities conflict instead of trusting spoofable raw input.
  • src/acp/client.test.ts ships regressions for conflicting tool identity hints and dangerous-tool prompting.

OpenClaw thanks @zpbrent for reporting.
