Summary
OpenClaw: Gateway Plugin HTTP Auth Grants Unrestricted operator.admin Runtime Scope to All Callers
Details

Summary

Gateway Plugin HTTP auth: "gateway" Mints operator.admin Runtime Scope

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw
  • Affected versions: <= 2026.3.24
  • First patched version: 2026.3.25
  • Latest published npm version at verification time: 2026.3.24

Details

Gateway-authenticated plugin HTTP routes previously created a runtime scope set that included operator.admin regardless of caller-granted scopes. Commit ec2dbcff9afd8a52e00de054b506c91726d9fbbe keeps plugin HTTP runtime scopes least-privileged and preserves caller scope boundaries.

Verified vulnerable on tag v2026.3.24 and fixed on main by commit ec2dbcff9afd8a52e00de054b506c91726d9fbbe.
