  "details": "### Summary\nOpenClaw plugins/extensions run in-process and are treated as trusted code. This advisory tracks trust-boundary clarification around plugin runtime command execution (`runtime.system.runCommandWithTimeout`).\n\n### Impact\nPlugins already execute with the same OS privileges as the OpenClaw process. Exposing runtime command helpers does not cross an additional sandbox boundary.\n\n### Affected Packages / Versions\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Latest published version reviewed: `2026.2.17`\n- Affected range for this advisory record: `\u003c= 2026.2.17`\n- Planned patched version metadata: `2026.2.19` (next release line)\n\n### Fix Commit(s)\n- `2e421f32dfc589c02706265fd3c3137ffc06c4b1`\n\n### Remediation\n- Install only trusted plugins.\n- Use `plugins.allow` to pin explicit trusted plugin IDs.\n- SECURITY.md now explicitly documents that plugin runtime helpers are convenience APIs, not a sandbox boundary.\n\nOpenClaw thanks @markmusson for reporting.",
