What fixes it

A fixed version on one release line is not the upgrade target for every line. Check your exact version and any vendor backports.

Description

OpenClaw versions before 2026.7.1 fail to properly validate owner authorization in the Codex computer-use installation command. Non-owner channel senders can install arbitrary plugins and execute MCP processes with OpenClaw user privileges, affecting host confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
