CVE-2026-41908: OpenClaw: Assistant media route missed scope enforcement for trusted-proxy authorization
(updated )
The Control UI assistant-media route authenticated trusted-proxy callers but did not enforce the declared operator scopes for identity-bearing HTTP auth paths. A trusted-proxy caller without operator.read could access assistant-media files and metadata that were otherwise inside allowed media roots.
The route still required successful gateway authentication and media-root checks. Severity is low.
