- Summary
- OpenClaw plugin runtime command execution is part of trusted plugin boundary
- Details

Summary
OpenClaw 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).Impact
Plugins already execute with the same OS privileges as the OpenClaw process. Exposing runtime command helpers does not cross an additional sandbox boundary.

Remediation
- Install only trusted plugins.
- Use
plugins.allowto pin explicit trusted plugin IDs. - SECURITY.md now explicitly documents that plugin runtime helpers are convenience APIs, not a sandbox boundary.
OpenClaw thanks @markmusson for reporting.
