What the vulnerability does

01Description

OpenClaw before 2026.4.25 contains a policy bypass vulnerability in embedded runner policy that allows requests using provider aliases to compare against aliases instead of canonical provider identities. Attackers can exploit this confusion to select bundled tool access outside intended provider policy restrictions when the affected feature is enabled.
