Summary
OpenClaw's authorization mismatch allowed write-scope agent runs to reach owner-only tools
Details
Summary
An authorization mismatch allowed authenticated callers with operator.write access to invoke owner-only tool surfaces (gateway, cron) through agent runs in scoped-token deployments.
Impact
On affected deployments, write-scoped callers could perform control-plane actions beyond intended write scope.
Fix
Owner-only gating is now enforced consistently for owner-only tool surfaces during agent execution, and tool scope classification was tightened to remove the privilege mismatch.
