Description

Summary

When installing openclaw@2026.2.24 globally via npm, several deprecated dependency warnings are shown. Some of these deprecated packages have known security vulnerabilities.
Environment

OpenClaw version: 2026.2.24
Node.js version: (agregar tu versión)
npm version: (agregar tu versión)
OS: Windows

Steps to reproduce

npm install openclaw@2026.2.24 --global

Expected behavior

No deprecated dependency warnings on install, or at minimum no packages with known security vulnerabilities.

Actual behavior

These warnings suggest the dependency tree relies on outdated versions of npm's internal tooling. Consider updating transitive dependencies or pinning to patched versions.

OpenClaw version

2026.2.24

Operating system

Windows 11

Install method

npm global

Logs, screenshots, and evidence

npm warn deprecated inflight@1.0.6: This module is not supported, and leaks memory.
npm warn deprecated npmlog@5.0.1: This package is no longer supported.
npm warn deprecated npmlog@6.0.2: This package is no longer supported.
npm warn deprecated rimraf@3.0.2: Rimraf versions prior to v4 are no longer supported
npm warn deprecated glob@7.2.3: Old versions of glob are not supported, and contain widely publicized security vulnerabilities
npm warn deprecated are-we-there-yet@3.0.1: This package is no longer supported.
npm warn deprecated are-we-there-yet@2.0.0: This package is no longer supported.
npm warn deprecated gauge@3.0.2: This package is no longer supported.
npm warn deprecated gauge@4.0.4: This package is no longer supported.
npm warn deprecated tar@6.2.1: Old versions of tar are not supported, and contain widely publicized security vulnerabilities
npm warn deprecated node-domexception@1.0.0: Use your platform's native DOMException instead
npm warn deprecated glob@10.5.0: Old versions of glob are not supported, and contain widely publicized security vulnerabilities

Impact and severity

Security concern: tar@6.2.1 and glob@7.2.3 have publicly disclosed security vulnerabilities.
inflight@1.0.6 has a known memory leak.
Multiple packages (npmlog, gauge, are-we-there-yet) are fully abandoned.

Additional information

These warnings suggest the dependency tree relies on outdated versions of npm's internal tooling. Consider updating transitive dependencies or pinning to patched versions.
