Each rust dot is a disclosed event in this advisory's life: when it was published, when (if ever) a patch shipped and where things stand today (the dashed line). Ghosted dots are events that haven't happened yet.

Summary

Verbose error logging in OpenClaw 2026.4.0–2026.4.5 includes API keys when an HTTP 401 is returned by the LLM provider. Logs are written to stdout and may be exfiltrated by any process with read access to the OpenClaw container.

What to do

  • If you run an affected version: upgrade to 2026.4.6 immediately. Do not delay this for convenience reasons.
  • Rotate any credentials that may have been exposed via the affected component.
  • Audit your logs for indicators of exploitation — unexpected outbound traffic, anomalous tool calls, unfamiliar authenticated sessions.
  • If exploitation is confirmed, treat the host as compromised: rebuild from a clean image, rotate every secret on the host, audit lateral movement.
