OpenClaw Policy Enforcement Bypass Disclosed — MCP/LSP Bundled Tools Skip Operator Allow/Deny Lists

If you’re running OpenClaw and haven’t updated to v2026.4.20 yet, stop reading and do that first. This is a security disclosure that directly affects how your agent enforces operator-defined tool policies — and the details are now public. DailyCVE published the full technical breakdown on April 25. Here’s what you need to know.

Anthropic Sues Trump Administration Over Pentagon 'Supply Chain Risk' Blacklisting

Anthropic filed a federal lawsuit against the US Department of Defense on Monday, March 9, challenging the Pentagon’s formal designation of the company as a “supply-chain risk” — a sanction that could cost the AI startup hundreds of millions in federal contract revenue and effectively lock Claude out of the US government. How It Got Here The dispute traces back to a very specific and principled refusal. CEO Dario Amodei declined to permit Claude to be used for autonomous weapons systems — a position Anthropic has held publicly for years as a core safety commitment. That refusal escalated through weeks of increasingly public tension, culminating last week when the Pentagon formally sanctioned Anthropic under supply-chain risk provisions. ...
