Collect-mode queue batches could reuse the last sender authorization context.
openclaw< 2026.4.14>= 2026.4.14Collect-mode queued messages from different senders could be drained as one batch using the final sender's authorization context, allowing earlier messages to inherit a more privileged context.
The fix splits collect-mode batches by sender authorization context before dispatch, preserving each message's own trust state.
The issue was fixed in #66024. The first stable tag containing the fix is v2026.4.14, and openclaw@2026.4.14 includes the fix.
43d4be902755c970b3d15608679761877718da69Users should upgrade to openclaw 2026.4.14 or newer. The latest npm release, 2026.4.14, already includes the fix.
